Debugging a Stock Strategy That Produces No Trades

Summary

A brief forum exchange addresses a user whose stock strategy appears not to run. The response suggests two checks: use English names for features, and print the daily buy and sell candidate lists to see whether any stocks meet the strategy’s conditions.

The advice points to two possible failure sources: feature naming problems and selection rules that may be too strict to produce candidates. It gives no code, diagnostic output, or confirmation of the actual cause, so these are troubleshooting suggestions rather than a verified fix.

Key ideas

• Use English feature names to reduce the risk of feature-name errors.
• Print the daily buy and sell candidate lists to check whether the strategy finds stocks.
• Overly restrictive conditions can leave a strategy with no eligible trades.
• The exchange does not establish which issue caused the reported behavior.
