New user question : Stop multiple entries

[afshinmoshrefi]

I just learned basic strategy development on ninja.
I've developed a simple day trading strategy. When strategy gets a buy signal, it continues getting the signal for multiple ticks. I place a longorder entry when I get the first signal. How do I stop ninja from contiguously executing longorder? I've set "Entries per direction" = 1 but I keep getting longorder until the signal becomes invalid.

How can I manage it to one entry per direction and ignore the additional signals?

Hello,

Could you possible show me a code sample here?

Likely you could do something like :

if ( My_other_conditions_here && Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat )
{
//do whatever you already do here
}

Tried this code

Just tried this code ;

if (noTrade0 > 0.008 && Low[0] <= EMA(EmaLen)[0] )
{
DrawDiamond("Long" + CurrentBar, false, 0, EMA(EmaLen)[0], Color.Blue);

if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat)
{
EnterLongLimit(DefaultQuantity, EMA(EmaLen)[0], "LongSignal");
}

}

I got the signal and a diamond was displayed but there was no long entry!
Am I using EnterLongLimit incorrectly?

The issue seem to be on order exit. I get one order entry at the beginning without exit.

I'm using a 6 Range bar on CL.

THis is my initialize routine:

protected override void Initialize()
{
SetProfitTarget("LongSignal",CalculationMode.Ticks , 5);
SetStopLoss("LongSignal", CalculationMode.Ticks, 7, false);

CalculateOnBarCLose = false;
}

The above does not get me out of the position, although CL move more than 7 ticks in seconds. What am I doing wrong?
