Coding a ATM Strategy to enter for a Automated Strategy issue

[birdog]

Hi:

I have put the code from here with the name of my particular ATM Strategy in and it works:

http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...ket_replay.htm (at the bottom of this page).

1. Ok, so it works and executes, but the issue is that it seems like every tick or so after the first entry it continues adding positions non-stop. For example, my ATM has 3 contracts. Once a signal fires and triggers the first Sell or Buy market order per the strategy, then it just keeps on (in the case of Buys)...buying 3 more, then 3 more, then 3 more etc etc etc (3,6,9 etc). Of course, I only want it to enter one time with only 3 contracts.

How can I fix the that?

Hello,

It sounds like you may need to make changes to your entries per direction: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...rdirection.htm

This will limit the number of orders that can be submitted.

Additionally consider adding some logic that would prevent the EnterLong/Short() from being called every tick once its placed. You could have the OnOrderUpdate() set a variable to true/false once the conditions are met and order is placed: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=7499

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
