Set default value for "Entries per direction"?

[noincomenojobnoassets]

Hi guys,

all new here, and haven't found anything using the search engine...

My question is: How do I set a default value for the "Entries per direction" value I need to set up when starting a strategy on a chart? So far, I always have to change the standard "1" manually...

Thanks for helping!

Hi Josh,

Thanks for the answer.

I have added the line
EntriesPerDirection = 15;
to the "protected override void Initialize()" section in the code - however, when I right-click on a chart and select my strategy, it still only suggests 1 Entry per direction.....

Sorry, I am completely new to this - sure thing the error is in front of the screen ;-)

After such a change you need to press F5 to compile your code. Then you need to remove the strategy from the chart and load a new instance.

Great! Worked!

Thanks, Josh!

Does this work in the same way for e.g. the Account to be traded on, say an InteractiveBrokers papertrading account instead of the NT Sim101 one?

I would then add a line like

Account = <IBpapertradingaccount>;

...?

Unfortunately you cannot set the account.
