Position size for individual signals

[BigDog008]

Is it possible to check position size for individual signals?

Say I want to go long 3 contracts
EnterLong(Default Quantity, "Long A")
EnterLong(Default Quantity, "Long B")
EnterLong(Default Quantity, "Long C")

and I set profit targets of say 1 tick, 2 and 3 respectively...

assume that A gets filled and B and C are open, is it possible to go Long another A contract?

same thing... A and B get filled, then I want to go long another A and B

possible? if so, how?

Hi BigDog008, I think this is possible working with the EntriesPerDirection setting, given your entry condition is still true it would then enter another trade until your EntriesPerDirection setting is reached - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...Direction.html

Bertrand,

I don't see how this would allow the strategy to check if

Contract B is Long
Contract C is Long
and Contract A is Flat

then initiate a Long position in Contract A

essentially is it possible to treat the individual contracts A, B, C as individual entities?

BigDog008,

To get that kind of information would require you to use IOrders. Then you can check the IOrder for the individual fill amounts of each of your orders.

Josh,

I'm a bit confused... are you saying that by using IOrder, I can create and reference various order positions? say A, B, C and go long or short accordingly?

Sorry for the confusion BigDog008 - yes with IOrders you can directly check the fill states and quantities of the associated orders - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...V6/IOrder.html
