Once Per Session

[a2vwnick]

I am looking for a way to only execute my strategy once per session. Once the first signal gets executed (on a stop entry) I want it to wait until the next session. Any nice way to do this?

You would need to declare an internal variable.

private bool triggeredThisSession = false;

then wherever you have strategy logic that enters a position such as OnBarUpdate()

if (FirstBarOfSession)
triggeredThisSession = false;

if (myCondition == true)
{
EnterLong();
triggeredThisSession = true;
}

Well I think the problem with that is since I want to enter on a stop, once the bar closes it will cancel the stop and there will never be an entry.

Then I would suggest a different approach and use Position.MarketPosition property to change the value of the "triggeredThisSession" variable.

Thanks that did it. I could have sworn I looked at marketposition before.
