Multi entries

[gg80108]

This only puts in an order for 2 contracts and ignores the second order for 1 more. Here is a snipit of the code.. Must be something else I have to do?

protected override void Initialize()
{
CalculateOnBarClose = true;
TraceOrders = true;
EntriesPerDirection = 3;
EntryHandling = EntryHandling.UniqueEntries;
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
entryOrder = EnterLongLimit(0,true,2, Close[1] , "Enter Long");
EnterLongLimit(0,true,1, Close[1] , "Enter Long Trail");
}

Hello gg80108,

I'm using your code and it's submitting both orders. Add TraceOrders = true; to your initialize statement to see what might be going on.

One thing you could change is EntriesPerDirection set to 1. It will then submit 1 entry for each unique rule. It might make debugging easier.

Ok got all 3 entries now,,
Here is my second issue.. I named the entries two different names so I could manage them separately,, and I can see different tokens for each entry order.. When the first profit target is hit all ( 2 contracts and for 1 contract) of the stop orders are being cancelled , which is not good. since I still have one long position, the target order for the 1 contract trail also cancels.. I need the "trail" orders for the trail position to to still be there..

Here is a snipit: (this fires ok and places the orders)
protected override void OnOrderUpdate(IOrder order)
{
if (entryOrder != null && entryOrder.Token == order.Token)
{
Print( "*****" + order.ToString());
Print("Primary position is " + Position.MarketPosition);
Print("OrderState is " + order.OrderState + entryOrder);

if (order.OrderState == OrderState.Filled)
{
//stops for long
ExitLongStop(0,true,2,entryprice - 12 * TickSize, "IO1", "Enter Long");//
ExitLongStop(0,true,1,entryprice - 12 * TickSize, "IO1", "Enter Long Trail");
// profit targets for longs
ExitLongLimit(0,true,2,entryprice + 9 * TickSize, "IT2", "Enter Long");
ExitLongLimit(0,true,1,entryprice + 19 * TickSize, "IT3", "Enter Long Trail");
}
