I've never seen this behaviour before. Take a look.

Hi Kay, this would be expected if you set it dynamically in the OnBarUpdate() - this method is called for every bar.

Default Simulated False?
What is the difference between a strategy that is set to either Simulated False or Simulated True?

Thanks,

Fibs.

A simulated stop order is held locally on your computer. If you set this to true, the order will be simulated.

Setting the simulated bool to false will ensure the order is submitted to your broker


Please see the following link for more information on simulated stop orders:
