Conditional Order not triggering buy order

Hey Pete!  As always, I very much appreciate your insight.  I have created a conditional order based on a study. For some reason on two occasions so far it did not buy when it should have.  It works on most stocks and orders but today I found another instance where it didn’t trigger and buy.  Have you come across this issue?  Is there something I’m doing wrong or is the system not always able to deliver?  I have attached a screenshot of the order and study.  I can provide additional detail if necessary. Thanks a ton!

The only issue I see is that you are referencing a custom study named "RSIReversalStratDay()". We have demonstrated in previous posts that custom studies are not supported in the Conditional Order or Study Alert tools. The fact that your conditional orders work at all is a bit of a mystery. It should fail every time. The only solution I have for you is to use the full code from your custom study rather than just a reference to it.

Thanks Pete. It is odd that it worked for about 4 out of 8 conditional orders I had. All different stocks but same conditions. I will play with it some more and see if I get some resolution. The referenced study is probably not necessary since I think I can pull the critical conditions from it and add those to the cancel conditions since I'm looking for it to be false. I will report back once I figure it out. Thanks!

Sure thing. You know you can use the Study Alert to test this in place of Conditional Orders. Might enable you to test and troubleshoot the issue much more quickly.
