Serial SetStopLoss / SetProfitTargets fail

[timmbbo]

Hi there, I'm unable to fire off sequential EnterLongLimit, when the Loss/Profit is set differently. For instance, this code works:

SetStopLoss("MyStrat1", CalculationMode.Ticks, 13, false);
SetProfitTarget("MyStrat1", CalculationMode.Ticks, 5);
entryOrder = EnterLongLimit(0, true, 1, Close[0], "MyStrat1");
entryOrder2 = EnterLongLimit(0, true, 1, Close[0], "MyStrat1");

That is, both entryOrder and entryOrder2 fire off and execute. However, when I run the code as:

SetStopLoss("MyStrat1", CalculationMode.Ticks, 13, false);
SetProfitTarget("MyStrat1", CalculationMode.Ticks, 5);
entryOrder = EnterLongLimit(0, true, 1, Close[0] , "MyStrat1");

SetStopLoss("MyStrat2", CalculationMode.Ticks, 13, false);
SetProfitTarget("MyStrat2", CalculationMode.Ticks, 5);
entryOrder2 = EnterLongLimit(0, true, 1, Close[0], "MyStrat2");

then only the EnterLongLimit, of entryOrder fires. The second EnterLongLimit, for entryOrder2, always fails.


Your thoughts? Thanks,

Set this to 2.

SetStopLoss("MyStrat1", CalculationMode.Ticks, 13, false);
SetProfitTarget("MyStrat1", CalculationMode.Ticks, 5);
entryOrder = EnterLongLimit(0, true, 1, Close[0] , "MyStrat1");

SetStopLoss("MyStrat2", CalculationMode.Ticks, 13, false);
SetProfitTarget("MyStrat2", CalculationMode.Ticks, 5);
entryOrder2 = EnterLongLimit(0, true, 1, Close[0], "MyStrat2");

then only the EnterLongLimit, of entryOrder fires. The second EnterLongLimit, for entryOrder2, always fails.

I'm confused where in the code this would even be. You must be using the guide version without unlocked code. I want to help, but I don't understand what this does =( ... (always write in code).

Like what does the "false" refer to, or the "0, true, 1?

Clearly, you already allow multiple entries by direction, since both of your long entries happen, I just wonder - I think you have to make two strategies if you want two executions to happen.

Like I have multiple different entries and exits, but they are ALL wrapped up within just a single strategy - it is one extensive file with thousand lines of code.

Hello timmbbo,

Thanks for your post.

As member sledge advised you want to work with your settings of Entries per direction as well as Entry handling settings. Using your second set of code, you can set the entries per direction to 1 and the entry handling of UniqueEntries. The UniqueEntries are defined by your signal names.

member lmatiukas, here is a link to the helpguide section on EnterLongLimit thjat defines the parameters you are questioning: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...rlonglimit.htm
