2 long positions unwanted

[shanemcdonald]

hi
I wind up with 2 long positions in an automated strategy when I only want one contract at a time. Is this related to "overfill" as I read in another post?
Would a "check market flat" type of thing prevent this ?

I dont know how I end up with 2 , sometimes 4 positions. It happens long or short.

thanks

I think you are going to need to post some code, so we can debug it.

There is a parameter "EntriesPerDirection" or something, that allows more than 1 "named" entry per direction. I use it to front load a stop1 vs a stop2.

With your discussion of contracts, it appears you are dealing with futures. Are these limit or market orders?

Without seeing what the code is doing, we really can have no idea beyond just guessing...
