enterlong cummulatively

[sunjoke399]

i have a code that allow adding position progressively.

like

int shares = 0;
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if(A){
enterlong(1, "initial");
shares = 1;
}
if(B){
enterlong(1,"add");
shares = shares +1
}

if(C){
entershort(shares , "exit");
shares = 0;
}
}



The problem is when i do backtesting, it has me "initial 1 @0.9095". And the next trade is exit 4 @0.9100, Close position 1 @0.9100. There should be another 3 "add 1 @***". Actually, the "add" trades never show up in the whole backtesting period even though I am very confident that the if(B) statement is triggered a lot (otherwise, exit won't sell more than 1).

Cam some one tell me why it does not add position?

Hi Sunjoke,

Thank you for posting and welcome to the forums!

Are you using Unique Entries for your backtest parameters?

What is your Entries Per Direction set to?

I would suggest adding a DrawDot() to the IF condition B to see if indeed this is being met.
Additionally, add TraceOrders to the Initialize section of the code so that you can see if orders are getting ignored and why.
TraceOrders
DrawObjects

Thank you

Thank you

The reason was that I did not set entry per direction. After setting that, it is resolved. thanks.
