Run only once

[BradB]

Is it possible to have a strategy only allow an order to be placed once per day (from that strategy...)? In other words, if the strategy conditions were met and an order was placed, no other orders would be placed by this strategy for the remainder of the trading session.

There are no NinjaScript methods or UI options to control this however, you can do that programatically.

That's what I'm looking for, how/what can I check that would tell me if THIS strategy had opened an order already that trading session? Even if it had met it's target and was now closed...

Try something like:

private bool orderPlaced = false;

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
// Reseton newday
if (Bars.DayBreak)
orderPlaced = false;

if (orderPlaced == fase&& yourCondition == true)
{
EnterLong();
orderPlaced = true;
}
}
