Ignored SubmitOrderManaged() method

[Leeroy_Jenkins]

•By default, orders submitted via Entry() and Exit() methods automatically cancel at the end of a bar if not re-submitted.

I'm using Managed approach,Calculate.OnBarClose, my orders EnterLongStopMarket/EnterShortStopMarket, EntryHandling.AllEntries, EntriesPerDirection = 1.

My strategy placed EnterLongStopMarket 1 tick above 23 bar (see pic). As I know if it didn't trigger next bar it will be cancelled. But before that the strategy places another order at 24 bar but it's not possible bc previous order is still there. So this behavior is ok?

Hello Leeroy_Jenkins, thanks for writing in.

If you give the order a unique signal name it will not submit the same order twice. On the second submission if the order has the same signal name and is called twice it will not submit again, but it will keep the order alive if the order was submitted on the previous bar. If you are not using a signal name and the order prices are different It would submit a different order.

Please let me know if I can assist any further.

But they do have different SignalName.

my code looks like this:

if(..) //condition to go long
{
Count++; //count trades
EnterLongStopMarket(High[0] + TickSize, "" + Count);
SetStopLoss("" + Count, CalculationMode.Price, Low[0] - TickSize, false);
SetProfitTarget("" + Count, CalculationMode.Price, TargetLong);
}

As I see in my trace SignalName='23' FromEntrySignal=''

Next trade: SignalName='24' FromEntrySignal=''

So they have different SignalName but empty FromEntrySignal in both cases. And different prices of course.

Hello Leeroy_Jenkins, thanks for your reply.

This is expected to happen. The first order, 23, gets submitted, then on the next bar the 24 order is submitted and the 23 order is canceled. If you wanted to keep the 23 order alive on subsequent bars you would need to save the signal name as a variable and re-submit the order with the saved signal name.

Please let me know if I can provide any further information.

It works, thanks.
