Strategy keeps looping and does not enter at next entry

[taylorv817]

When I'm using multiple indicator or strategies it keeps looping even after I set profit target. I am trying to hit a profit target and after that trend is over I want the strategy to enter at the next entry. Below is one of the example. I wish there was a if and then statement in C# it would be alot easier to say if trend was -1 then +1 then entry 1.

// Set 1
if (AuSuperTrendU111.Trend[0] == -1)
{
EnterShort(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantity), "");
}

// Set 2
if (AuSuperTrendU111.Trend[0] == 1)
{
EnterLong(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantity), "");
}


Thanks,
Taylor

Hello Taylor,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

C# does have an 'else' and an 'else if'.

Below are links to educational sites.

You can also require in the condition that the position must be flat.

Hi ChelseaB,

Thanks for the response, but seem like if we use else it might not be the same as then. Since the next bar will also be trend == 1 and the order will fill again as a long position. Do you have an example where we can say if previous trend is -1 and current trend is +1 then entry long? That way it wont cause entry everytime we start the strategy at unwanted position?

Hello Taylor,

Are you asking how to find the value from the previous bar?

Use 1 as the bars Ago index.

For example:
if (AuSuperTrendU111.Trend[1] == -1 && AuSuperTrendU111.Trend[0] ==1)
