Placing Multiple Orders

[murfinp]

Hi

I seem to have a problem ... when my signal is triggered (say long) I want to place one order to buy at market and then 4 more orders limit orders
market-1 tick ,
market-2 ticks,
market-3 ticks and
market-4 ticks

My market order has a profit target of 16 ticks and my limit orders have a target of 4 ticks

I have two SetProfitTarget calls

SetProfitTarget("Mar****rder",CalculationMode.Tick s,16);
SetProfitTarget("LimitOrder",CalculationMode.Ticks ,4);

and I place my orders as follows:

EnterLong("Mar****rder");
EnterLongLimit(0,true,1,orderprice,"LimitOrder");

The market order goes in ok and the first limit order goes in ok but the 2nd limit order updates the first limit order rather than creating a new one

In the trace I get "Amended matching Order" - BUT it is not matching it is at a different price

PLEASE how do i get around this?

Thanks

Paul,

It is because you name all 4 of your limit orders with the same name. If you want four separate orders you will want to use four separate names.

I guessed that - will i also have to call setprofittarget 4 times as well?

Thanks

Paul,

That is correct. One for each unique one.
