enter two trades on different instruments.

Hey guys I have a strategy that takes a long on the Euro and E-mini SP 500 futures. what I want Ninjatrader to do is enter a long trade on E-mini SP 500 (1 contract ) and if a long setup also happens on the Euro futures that it should take a long as well. But what I noticed is the strategy only takes one trade, for example if a position is already active on E-mini Sp 500. the strategy will not take a long on the Euro even though a setup is confirmed.
I tried going to Strategies > Entries per direction and I put 2. But what happens is if another trade setup on the E-mini and Euro fire on the same bar it takes the E-mini SP 500 setup. So what I want to do is have only one trade on the Sp 500 and one trade on the Euro. How can I do this.

Thank you

Hello wallsteetking,

You may want to give your Entry signals a different name then change your entry handling to UniqueEntires to be able to better manage this.

For example:

protected override void Initialize() 
{ 
    EntryHandling = EntryHandling.UniqueEntries;
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate() 
{
    if ( //ES Conditon)
    {
         EnterLong("ES Long");
    }
    if ( //Euro Condition)
    {
         EnterLong("Euro Long");
    }
}

Happy to be of further assistance.
