2. Double-check all parameters
3. **Start Small:** 1 contract, conservative settings
4. Enable strategy
5. **Monitor continuously** for first day
### Step 4: Production Monitoring
**Required Monitoring (First Week):**

**Week 4:** 2-3 contracts (if Week 3 successful)
**Scale-Up Criteria:**
- Profitable or break-even
- No system errors
- Risk controls working
- Comfortable with behavior

## Verification
### Build Verification
```bash
# Run verification script
.\verify-build.bat
# Should output:
# ✅ All checks passed!
# Build is ready for NT8 integration
```
### Runtime Verification
**Check Logs:**
```
C:\Users\[Username]\Documents\NinjaTrader 8\log\
```
**Look For:**
- Strategy initialization messages
- No error exceptions
- Risk validation logs
- Order submission confirmations
**Expected Log Entries:**
```
[INFO] SimpleORB initialized: Stop=8, Target=16
[INFO] Risk controls active: Daily limit=$1000
[DEBUG] ORB complete: High=4205.25, Low=4198.50
[INFO] Trade approved: Risk Level=Low
[INFO] Order submitted: ES Buy 2 @ Market
[INFO] Order filled: ES 2 @ 4203.00
```
### Health Checks
**Every Hour:**
- [ ] Strategy still enabled
- [ ] No error messages
- [ ] Orders executing correctly
- [ ] P&L tracking accurate
**Every Day:**
- [ ] Review all trades
- [ ] Check risk control logs
- [ ] Verify position reconciliation
- [ ] Backup critical data

## Troubleshooting
### Compilation Errors
**Error:** "Could not find NT8.Core.dll"
**Solution:** Copy DLL to `NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom\`
**Error:** "Method not found"
**Solution:** Ensure DLL version matches strategy code
**Error:** "Could not load file or assembly"
**Solution:** Copy all dependencies (Microsoft.Extensions.*, Newtonsoft.Json)
### Runtime Errors
**Error:** "NullReferenceException in OnBarUpdate"
**Solution:** Add null checks:
```csharp
if (CurrentBar < 1) return;
if (Instrument == null) return;
```
**Error:** "Order rejected by broker"
**Solution:**
- Check account margin
- Verify contract is valid
- Check trading hours
**Error:** "Risk manager halted trading"
**Solution:**
- Check daily loss limit
- Review risk logs
- Reset daily limits (if appropriate)
### Performance Issues
**Symptom:** Strategy lagging behind market
**Diagnosis:**
```csharp
var sw = Stopwatch.StartNew();
// ... strategy logic
sw.Stop();
_logger.LogDebug("OnBar execution: {0}ms", sw.ElapsedMilliseconds);
```
**Solutions:**
- Optimize calculations
- Reduce logging in production
- Check for excessive LINQ
- Profile hot paths
### Connection Issues
**Symptom:** Orders not submitting
**Check:**
- Connection status
- Account status
- Symbol validity
- Market hours
**Recovery:**
- Reconnect data feed
- Disable/re-enable strategy
- Emergency flatten if needed
---
## Rollback Procedure
### If Issues in Production
1. **Immediate:** Disable strategy
2. **Flatten:** Close all open positions
3. **Disconnect:** From live account
4. **Investigate:** Review logs
5. **Fix:** Address issue
6. **Re-test:** On simulation
7. **Deploy:** Only when confident
### Version Rollback
**Save Previous Version:**
```powershell
# Before deployment
Copy-Item "NT8.Core.dll" "NT8.Core.dll.backup"
```
**Restore Previous Version:**
```powershell
# If issues
Copy-Item "NT8.Core.dll.backup" "NT8.Core.dll" -Force
```
**Re-compile in NT8**
