Default What are these in the OUtput Window?

My strategy that I'm working on produces a bunch of Ignored PlaceOrder() errors in the Output Window when TraceOrders = True. I can't figure out what is causing them.

The errors are:

Ignored PlaceOrder() method at .... Action=Buy OrderType=Stop .... Reason="Invalid order price, see log tab".

My log tab is completely blank.

Likely you have some filters enable on your Log tab, right click to check.

This error means that you have submitted a buy stop price with an invalid price. An invalid price is one where the stop price <= then the close price of the same bar.

I have EnterShortStop and EnterLongStop orders to buy in the middle of the bar (it should not wait until close). So, for backtesting, it sounds like this could be normal? The close will happen much later than the buy or sell.

Thanks.
