When running a strategy, exceptions may happen to the Conditions Cards and/or Operations Cards, resulting in request failures or data access errors. This article will explain how these exceptions are handled so that you can choose from different methods depending on scenarios.
Before that, it is recommended that you first understand the operating framework under normal circumstances by referring to "Running Order of Conditions Cards & Operations Cards".
"Start" Card runs once when the entire strategy is about to begin. If global variables fail to be assigned values (for example: a = 1/0, but 0 cannot be used as the denominator) or cannot access market data, the entire strategy will not be initialized and thus cannot begin.
In the parameter setting interface of "Live Trading" or "Backtesting", you can choose from the following three exception handling methods:
Exit the erroneous card and advance to the next card on the path.
In this method, exceptions in Operations Cards are handled in a way slightly different from that in Conditions Cards.
Operations Cards: When the strategy runs to the Operation Card "Close Position to Take Profit" in path 2, and an exception occurs, the strategy will skip the Operation and continue running from "Initialized Position Cost for Each Price Level".

Conditions Cards: When running to the Condition Card "Take-Profit Conditions Met?" on path 2, and an exception happens, the strategy will skip that Condition and re-start from the first Condition Card or Operation Card on the next path (path 3).

Exit the erroneous path and advance to the next one starting from the "Start" card.
If an exception occurs when the strategy runs to the Condition Card "Take-Profit Conditions Met?" on path 2, it will skip the Condition and continue to run from the first Condition Card or Operation Card on the next path (path 3).

Skip the rest of the current strategy cycle and continue with the next iteration when triggered.
When running to the Condition Card "Take-Profit Conditions Met?" on path 2, and an exception happens, the strategy will skip that Condition as well as all unexecuted Conditions Cards or Operations Cards, and re-start from the first Condition Card or Operation Card on path 1 if it is triggered again for another round.

Value Assignment Card
When the strategy runs to "Value Assignment Card" and value assignment fails due to an exception, the global variable will remain the value before the assignment instead of being cleared (for example: when a = high price of a candlestick, but the high price cannot be accessed, a will maintain the original value).
