Order Placement Debugging

Systematic approach to fixing strategies that log entry/exit signals but do not place orders, or that hit OpenAlgo smart-order API errors. Use with the order-placement-debugger subagent and debug-mode workflow (hypotheses → instrument → reproduce → analyze → fix → verify).

When to Use

• Strategy logs show SIGNAL: or [ENTRY]/[EXIT] but "Order ID: N/A" or no order ID
• Logs show: Order API Error: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0) or TradingUtils - ERROR
• HTTP log shows POST .../smartorder "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" but no order in order book
• Adding or fixing placesmartorder / APIClient in a strategy
