Running Different Strategy Off Same Chart

[dgregor5]

Hi:
I am running two independent (one long & one short) strategies off the same chart. This evening I experienced the followng:

1/ long entered at 8:30pm (email confirmation sent) & short exited at 8:30pm (no email confirmation sent)
2/ short entered at 9:00pm (email confirmation sent) & long exited at 9:00pm (no email confirmation sent)
3/ at 9:30pm email confirmation sent for 9:00pm exit long trade.

It would appear that there is an interaction between the strategies --- I am using MarketPosition to confirm when position gone flat to send email.

Any thoughts ?

thx
DG

For clarification, Position.MarketPosition is the virtual position held by each strategy and is *not* the actual position of your account.

In case this makes a difference in your logic.

that's what I thought. so is there any other reason why one cannot send simulataneous email (& note to log) from trading different strategies (i.e. one email from one strategy & another email from the other strategy) from the same chart. There are no issues if only running the one strategy.

thx

There are no limitations in the SendMail() method that would prevent you from calling this method successfully from simultaneous strategies. I would revisit your logic and ensure that the method is called when you expect it to be called.
