consecutive order execution

[Micronezia]

Hi

I'm having some trouble with consecutive order execution.

Consider the following:
I run a stop-limit order in the OnBarUpdate method:
EnterLongStop(999, "test1");

The price didn't reach 999, and at the next bar (the following call to OnBarUpdate),
i execute a simple market-buy order:
EnterLong("test2");

The second order doesn't get filled and I don't really understand why.

Hello Micronezia,

This is most likely due to your EntriesPerDirection Handling in NinjaTrader.

If you set your EntriesPerDirection in the Strategy Properties to 2 does your second order get executed?

Note that for issues with Orders you may want to enable TraceOrders to true so that you can see more information inside of the Tools -> Output window.

Happy to be of further assistance.

Thanks

Now that you've pointed me to the right direction, I've actually found a more elegant solution
by switch Entry Handling to UniqueEntries. This allows me to issue the orders properly.

I would expect this to be the default property, dont you think ?

Hello Micronezia,

By Default it is set to "AllEntries" but you can change the default to "UniqueEntries" easily inside of Initialize() like in the following example:
