Why the second order is never executed?

[manugarc]

I'm trying to open positions on multiple (two in this case) instruments from the same strategy with this code:

EnterShort(0, vol_X, name_1);
EnterShort(1, vol_Y, name_2);

But only the first operation is executed (BarsInProgress == 0) and the second one is ignored.

If I switch the order, again only the first one is executed (BarsInProgress == 1).

Am I missing any restriction or doing something wrong?

Hello Manugarc,

Thank you for your note.

Have you set EntriesPerDirection to a value greater than 1?

For example, https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...rdirection.htm

Or have you set EntryHandling = UniqueEntries?

For example,

If you’d like to send a copy of your code so we can look into what might be going on, please do so.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

{shame} So obvious. I was "sure" that limit was applied to each instrument, not to the total positions.

Thank you Alan.
