Entering 2 limit orders at 2 different limit prices

[ballboy11]

If I want to create 2 different limit orders at 2 different limit prices do I have to use unmanaged approach or managed. I want limit at price A and limit 2 at Price B using a stop limit

Hello ballboy11, thanks for writing in.

You can submit two limit orders at different prices. Make sure Entries Per Direction is set to at least 2 to do this. Please see here for a list of order handling rules. If the strategy needs to break any of these rules then the unmanage approach should be used:

I am finding this does not work.
When entering two limit orders in sequence only the first is taken and the second is ignored.
EntryPositions have been set to allow 4.

Hello OllieFeraher,

Thank you for your note.

To get more information about why an order might be ignored, please enable TraceOrders in State.SetDefaults and then review the output after testing your strategy:

If you have questions about the output, please let us know what message you are receiving or if you are getting any errors on the Log tab of the Control Center and we would be glad to help you better understand what might be happening.

Some orders might be ignored due to the internal order handling rules that may be found on the following page under "Internal Order Handling Rules that Reduce Unwanted Positions"
