Hi philxhong, this cannot be done directly in the wizard - you can set it when starting your strategy from the chart or strategies tab.

I am about to increase my trading size and need to be sure that I only enter my default quantity of 25 contracts in one shot and get out of the position in one shot. I have set in my code .allentries and entries per direction = 1 .... is this going to work?

Yes, this should do it - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...yHandling.html

Ok... thx... I take it then that using the code .uniqueEntries might have caused problems? I have read many posts on this subject but pls forgive my ignorance. Entries per direction controls this aspect of order filling or does allEntries/UniqueEntries control it? I want to buy all 25 at once and then not get any added positions in the same direction after the first order is filled...

Regards and thx.

Please take a look at the examples from the helpguide link -

1. EntriesPerDirection with AllEntries, two different entry signals, but only 1 per Direction permitted > only one will be executed, second one ignored.

2. Second example, EntriesPerDirection at 1, but per unique entry name, so two longs are possible.

So AllEntries with PerDirection to 1 will execute one entry per direction whatever signal name produced it.
