Issues with order management

[fmaurel]

Hello, I can't figure out how to keep two entry separate: If I place an entry, and that entry get filled and then later on add another contract to my existing position, when the second entry get filled, the 1st and 2nd entry average to a single entry box. How can I keep both entry separate . Thank you.

Average entry price cannot be avoided. FIFO and average entry price is how all brokers operate.

With that said, one of the great features of NinjaTrader is its ability to manage multiple virtual positions in the same market. This allows you to manage a long and short position in the same market simultaneously.

Here is how this is accomplished:

• Open 2 SuperDOMs or 2 Charts (with Chart Trader) and set them both to the same market
• Right click in on of the order entry windows and select the menu "Properties"
• Set the 'ATM Strategy selection mode' parameter to "DisplaySelectedAtmStrategyOnly"
• Repeat the last two instructions on the second order entry window
• Submit a buy order to open a long position in the first order entry window
• Submit a sell order to open a short position in the second order entry window

In addition to these instructions, I suggest reviewing the content available in our Online Help Guide specific to this topic.
