Multiple entries on Simulated Algo

[JAL1721]

I'm using a base simulated EMA strategy with a profit target and stop loss.
I'm using Renko for the data series but when I run a simulation at times it enters me in multiple contracts at a time. I have the default quantity set at 1.

Is there another setting I'm missing?

Hi JAL1721,

Do you have multiple signals in your strategy? What are your EntriesPerDirection and EntryHandling settings?

[JAL1721]

Not Multiple strategies. Just based on a cross on EMA. Entries per direction is 1 and Entry handling is All entries.

It seems it keeps increasing the trades by 1 each time there is a cross. So on trade 2 it buys 2 contracts, on trade 3 it buys 3 and so on.

It should not enter more than is set by EntriesPerDirection and EntryHandling, but these properties won't be used in some cases, like unmanaged or when calling ATM strategies.

Can you please enable TraceOrders and check messages related to this in Tools > Output Window. Share some of the output you're getting and some of your code so we know what type of strategy (managed, unmanaged, ATM) you're working with.
