11/30/2009 2:05:31 AM Entered internal PlaceOrder() method at 11/30/2009 2:05:31 AM: Action=Buy OrderType=Market Quantity=1 LimitPrice=0 StopPrice=0 SignalName='' FromEntrySignal=''

11/30/2009 2:05:31 AM Ignored PlaceOrder() method at 11/30/2009 2:05:31 AM: Action=Buy OrderType=Market Quantity=1 LimitPrice=0 StopPrice=0 SignalName='Buy' FromEntrySignal='' Reason='Exceeded entry signals limit based on EntryHandling and EntriesPerDirection properties'

Dont understand "Exceeded entry signals limit" error.. entries per direction is 1 and I dont see how that wouldbe a problem... Any ideas? Tried resetting the order to null in onorderupdate, if orderstate is filled but that doesnt seem to work.

apparently bumping up entries per direction (even if you are reversing just 1 lot) along with setting "sync account position" to true fixes this issue. only thing is as to why it works intermittently.. enterlong/short should be simplified to execute market orders pronto..

tradejockey,

If you are already holding a position in the same direction you cannot place in another. That is why you are running into the message.
