Buy and Sell orders in same strategy file

[newuser]

Is it possible to have both a buy and sell in the same strategy file? I can't find anything to say that it's not possible, but for some reason NT7 seems to be ignoring my sell side completely. The code compiles without errors but I get no short trades (and I know short setups should be triggering).

The basic format I'm using is as follows.

OnBarUpdate()
{
//condition set 1
if ( //long conditions)
{enter long}

//condition set 2
if ( //short conditions)
{enter short}
}

Is that how it should be or am I missing something? I have COBC=true in the Initialize() method also.

Hello Newuser,

Thank you for your note.

There is no problem having a strategy enter both longs and shorts. I’ve attached a SampleMACrossOver Strategy which has both enter long and enter short logic for which you could compare your strategy to, or if you’d like to provide us with a copy of your code so we can test on our end, please do so.

I look forward to your reply.
