send many orders in one instrument

[dantes]

I am looking to send two orders, one buy and one sell, at the same time in one instrument. I am trying this:

EnterLongLimit(0,true,size,bid,"quoter");
EnterShortLimit(0,true,size,ask,"quoter");

where size, bid and ask are defined before. But the system only sends the first order. Any ideas why?

Possibly could it be related to the bug reported here:

This violates internal order entry handling rules, scroll to bottom of page referenced at link below.

ok I now understand that my second order violates the safety rules and is ignored. Is there any way I can enter two orders, one buying and one selling from one strategy?

Not simultaneosly, you could run two separate strategies or, simulate when they should be filled and then submit a market order for either the short or long.

From my point of view I think you should add this possibility. That a side, can one strategy call another strategy?

[NinjaTrader_Ray]

No this is not supported.
