How do I add to my position

[bradleg]

Hello All,

Firstly, I am an experienced C# developer, so I am not a afraid to write software.

For the last, week I have been struggling with understanding how to add contracts to my position. Below is a simple example of how I believe it should work. However, I think I am making an error, so I need some one to clarify.

How do I take a long position with one contract, then later add to that position, and when I want to exit, exit all the contracts simultaneously.

Proposed code:

if ((Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat) && (SMA(20) > SMA (30))
EnterLong ("Long Entry #1")

if ((Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long) && (SMA(20) > (SMA (30) * 1.1)
EnterLong ("Long Entry #2")

if ((Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long) && (SMA(20) < (SMA (30)))
ExitLong ("Exit All Longs?")

Please advise...

Change your entries per direction to 2.

This will allow 2 tagged entries in a given direction.

You are probably set to 1, so any other entry is ignored, whether or not a new tag is given.
