Mutiple entries not working in strategy develpment

[im197]

Hello Chelsea,

Find below the strategy code as an attachment.

The idea behind having two entries is to have a profit target for one and let the other run - hence the ATRTarget1 variable..

Of course I have not been able to implement the idea as only one entry was executed.

Hello Ioannis,

With UniqueEntries I would expect both orders (also this only prevents a new order after the position is taken).

May I test the script?

To export a NinjaTrader 8 NinjaScript so this can be shared and imported by the recipient do the following:

1. Click Tools -> Export -> NinjaScript...
2. Click the 'add' link -> check the box(es) for the script(s) and reference(s) you want to include
3. Click the 'Export' button
4. Enter a unique name for the file in the value for 'File name:'
5. Choose a save location -> click Save
6. Click OK to clear the export location message

By default your exported file will be in the following location:

• (My) Documents/NinjaTrader 8/bin/Custom/ExportNinjaScript/<export_file_name.zip>

Below is a link to the help guide on Exporting NinjaScripts.

Once exported, please attach the file as an attachment to your reply.

Hi all,

I am trying to create a strategy using the ATR Trailing indicator found here https://ninjatraderecosystem.com/use...d/atrtrailing/

my code is as follows

---------------------

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{


if (CurrentBar < ATRPeriod) return;

if (( IsFlat || IsLong ) && ( Low[0] > _atrTrail.Lower[0] ) && _atrTrail.Upper[0] != 0)
{
this.EnterShortStopMarket(lots, _atrTrail.Upper[0], "Short 1");
this.EnterShortStopMarket(lots, _atrTrail.Upper[0], "Short 2");
}

if ( (IsFlat || IsShort) && (High[0] < _atrTrail.Lower[0] ) && _atrTrail.Lower[0] != 0 )
{

EnterLongStopMarket(lots, _atrTrail.Lower[0], "Long 1");
EnterLongStopMarket(lots, _atrTrail.Lower[0], "Long 2");
}
}

------------------------

For some reason the 2nd order is only submitted in short direction and only once
All orders thereafter are only Long 1 and Short 1

I have
EntriesPerDirection = 1;
EntryHandling = EntryHandling.UniqueEntries;

The idea is to use some form of profit target for one order and use a protective trailing stop for the 2nd one

Any help is greatly appreciated.
