Multi Entry Problem

[thinkster]

Hello NT Support,
I want my strategy to make two entries ( whether long or short) when conditions are right. One entry (Entry 1) then exits after X number of bars and the other (Entry 2)continues until another exit condition (a cross above/below condition). At which point strategy should reverse and do the same in opposite direction. But the entry that exits after X bars (Entry 1) is exiting as it should but then re-entering on the original condition (see screen shot of chart). I do not want it to re-enter until the reverse condition and Entries 1 and 2 trigger at once.
Also I have to manually set the Entries Per Direction to 2 in Backtest to get both entries to trigger. Can this be handled in Strategy Wizard or Ninjascript.

Hello,

You can set the Entries Per Direction from the Initialize method:

You can try adding position size check to your original entry condition to prevent from taking orders should you already be in position.

You can do this either from the Strategy Wizard or from the NinjaScript code directly
