As I commented in the strategy channel in Discord, I have a problem trying to sell in the current candle, probably I am doing something wrong. I am trying to sell at current candle when price is below EMA_50_4h but cannot get it to work. It is selling in next candle (day 31). I would like it sell the same day 30, in the same current candle, when the price crosses and goes below EMA50_4h value.

SOLVED , as Saleh explained me on Discord: Saleh said: "I think it's working fine but the chart isn't displaying it as you expect. Because Jesse executes strategies at close of new candles. And each candle's close, is the next candle's open. I think that's why you're seeing it that way" "What I would do is instead of selling with a MARKET order, I would submit a STOP sell order with the price being the EMA line. that should get you your desired exit price"

Cannot sell in current candle when price < EMA50_4h -> sells in next candle
