Make "Entries Per Direction" Optimize able

[jonbennett]

Im trying to optimize a strategy. How can I make "entries per direction" optimizable?

Hello jonbennett.

Thanks for your question.

Please consider the following:

1. Create an integer user defined input for "MaxEntriesPerDirection"
2. Create a variable to track "EntriesMadeInOneDirection"
3. In your logic check that your EntriesMadeInOneDirection variable does not exceed MaxEntriesPerDirection in addition to your other entry logic
4. Then when you enter, increment the EntriesMadeInOneDirection variable.

You can then set "EntriesPerDirection" to a high value and then you can use your optimizable properties to control EntriesPerDirection.
