How to entry during the candle still running

[williamzz]

Dear Team,
Currently I'm using entry market long and short.

The problem is,my entry can only occur at the beginning of the bar,this will make an issue.For example,I entry short at the beginning of candle1,if the price falls a lot,my profit short will make entry short exit earlier,because my profit has reached the target.

But at this time the price is still falling,and this candle is still match my short condition.So how can I entry short this candle again.Now I can't entry it until next candle.

Thank you very much!

Hello williamzz, thank you for your post.

The only way to get intrabar OnBarUpdate calls is to set the Calculate to Calculate.OnEachTick or Calculate.OnPriceChange. The strategy must be able to handle multiple OnBarUpdate calls, meaning you might need to use IsFirstTickOfBar to separate "Bar Close" logic from "On Each Tick" logic. There is an example of this here with additional documentation. You will also need to set "Entries per direction" in the strategy setup menu to allow multiple entries in the same direction.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Hello williamzz,

Unfortunately, the code will need to be unlocked to use IsFirstTickOfBar.
