Multiple Trades Within A Strategy

[mikehoustonmsu]

I built a strategy to run of which it runs fine, but what is happening is the strategy enters a trade and during the trade the strategy gets triggered again, but doesn't enter another trade. It seems that in order for another trade to be triggered, the current trade has to be closed. How can I get it to run another trade while one trade is already running? I know how to backtest it in strategy analyzer, but can't find out how to do it in the real time.

Thanks,
Mike

Hello Mikehoustonmsu,

You should to look at the following properties.
EntriesPerDirection
EntryHandling

These properties can be specified when you run your strategy or declared in code.

You can change EntriesPerDirection to allow more than one trade in any direction. EntryHandling can be set to allow this from any signals or uniquely named signals

These links show that I have to input code to get the number of trades allowed to work. Is there a setting to where I don't have to put in the code?

Hi Mike,

You can set these values whenever you apply a strategy to a chart or run from the control center. You do not have to type it in the code. Attached screenshot indicating these settings.

Yes, that is for backtesting, but what about real time?

The screenshot I included is for running strategies in real time from the control center. You can find the same settings when applying a strategy to a chart. From where are you running the strategy?
