1 trade per direction

[Borsz]

Hi,

How to set my borning ninja script (in the wizard) to limit the entries to only 1 trade per direction. (1 short - 1 long - 1 short - 1 long - ...)

Thanks.

Hello Borsz,

Thank you for your post.

You would set the EntriesPerDirection to 1 when applying the strategy to a chart or running a backtest. This will allow that you have only one entry.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thanks Cal, actually I know it, but it seems does not work. Please see screenshot under link below.
(by the way, isn't it possible to simply attach a picture in this post, only link?)
I tested this simple strategy, EntriesPerDirection is set to 1, but as you see on the chart, short after short happened. Why?

Borsz,

Thank you for your picture. I see what you are referring to now.
That is because the strategy logic is still telling it to go short.

You would want to create a "switch" per say.

Use Variable0 in the Set User Variable. So, when you go Short, change the variable to say 1 and then test for the 1 value in your long condition and when you go long change it back, thus switching between long and short.

Attached is a sample of how this looks in the Wizard

You would need to use the Go Advanced -> select the Paperclip in the toolbar
