Open a trade on every bar

[Flood]

Hello,

I'm trying to develop a simple test strategy to get a grasp on how Strategies work within NinjaTrader.

This is the relevant part of the code:

                protected override void OnBarUpdate()
		{
			if (State == State.Realtime) {
				Print("Before: " + Position.ToString());
				EnterLong(this.orderSize);
				this.orderSize++;
				Print("After: " + Position.ToString());
			}
		}

orderSize is a variable initialized to 500. In the first bar, this seems to be OK, since it opens a trade with size 500. However, for future bars, it won't open trades with size 501, 502...

What am I missing?

Thank you.

Hello Flood,

Thanks for your post.

This could be limited by the strategy parameter "Entries per Direction" which defaults to 1 entry per direction.

Please try changing this to some other value. The parameter can be changed/set when you apply the strategy and is located in the "Order handling" section of the parameters.

Hello Paul,

Thanks for the answer. Yes, it worked. I hadn't noticed at first that option, seems a bit strange but I will play with it for a bit.

Regards.
