Hi Rana.irfan,

Thank you for posting.

You cannot add an instrument in the OnBarUpdate() method. Only in the Initialize() method.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Hi,

Rana.irfan,

This is not possible as the script would need to know what instrument to send the order to which would required adding the instrument in some capacity to the script.
