How to stop buy to cover

[Radagast]

Is there a way to avoid buy to cover in automated trading?

Welcome to the NT forums, you mean when the script would reverse through the managed mode Enter() methods?

[Radagast]

When the "exit short" signal coincides with the "enter long" signal it generates two orders in long one of which is called "buy to cover" I wish that it would not be generated or at least come close automatically immediately after its opening

Hello Radagast,

Thank you for your response.

If you are short and an EnterLong() method is called it will send two orders; one to close the short position and one to enter long.

You may wish to use Unmanaged orders to avoid this: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...d_approach.htm

Please let me know if you have any questions.
