Multiple position in one strategy

[lgarcia3]

I have some strategy from which I'd like to open multiple positions. I will have different targets for my positions; but basically I have one signal for the different positions I want to open. Is that possible or one strategy basically handles one position at a time?
Thanks!

Igarcia,

You can do this, however note you may experience multiple commissions using the managed approach. This can be accomplished by using the "SignalName" field.

If you want to enter 3 contracts and use a more complicated order management strategy I would suggest either using ATM strategies, or you can also use the unmanaged approach.

OK, here is what I'm trying to do. In Strategy I did this to enter my 3 different positions:

EnterShort(DefaultQuantity, "SHORT1");
EnterShort(5,"SHORT2");
EnterShort(2,"SHORT3");

I also enter this to manage the trades profits and losses.

SetStopLoss("SHORT1",CalculationMode.Ticks,10,fals e);
SetStopLoss("SHORT2",CalculationMode.Ticks,10,fals e);
SetStopLoss("SHORT3",CalculationMode.Ticks,10,fals e);

SetProfitTarget("SHORT2",CalculationMode.Ticks,10) ;
SetProfitTarget("SHORT3",CalculationMode.Ticks,15) ;
SetProfitTarget("SHORT1",CalculationMode.Ticks,20) ;

Now, when I run the strategy in the analyzer I only see trades for SHORT1 even though they are supposed to be entered at the same time.

I also noticed that I can instantiate the same strategy multiple times with different settings which essentially would be the same thing as this. Still my question remains, if I instantiate the strategy 3 times and all three instances fire at the same time, will all those trades be Entered? Or at least sent to market to be filled?
Thanks

When setting up your strategy, change "Entries per Direction" from 1 to 3.

...or set the EntryHandling to using .UniqueEntries - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...ryhandling.htm

Both approach should allow you to execute your multiple signal setup.

Different strategy instances would be acting independently, there is per default no cross communication here.

Hello I have similiar problem I want to enter 2 contracts (setup SL for each of them, for 1 PT - 9ticks and to another I want SL to be moved to growing profit. My code looks

protected override void Initialize()
{
EntriesPerDirection = 1;
EntryHandling = EntryHandling.UniqueEntries;
}
...

EnterLong("first");
EnterLong("second");

SetProfitTarget("first", CalculationMode.Ticks, 9);

SetStopLoss("first", CalculationMode.Ticks, 7, true);
SetStopLoss("second", CalculationMode.Ticks, 7, true);
....
When i run startegy analyzer i only see 1 contract and no second entry...I also played with EntriesPerDirection = 2. but it doesnt work. can anyone help me out?
