Split Order: Scalp and Runner

[coopgrafik]

Hey!

I'm trying to emulate a split order as I can set up an an ATM strategy. Can you let me know what's wrong with this code? It seems to only place one order when triggered.

Thanks

if ((Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat)
&& (Conditions == true))

{

SetProfitTarget(@"scalp", CalculationMode.Ticks, 7);
SetStopLoss(@"scalp", CalculationMode.Ticks, 18, false);
EnterShortStopMarket(currentStopLong - (TickSize * 7), @"scalp");

SetProfitTarget(@"runner", CalculationMode.Ticks, 28);
SetStopLoss(@"runner", CalculationMode.Ticks, 24, false);
EnterShortStopMarket(currentStopLong - (TickSize * 8), @"runner");

}

Hello coopgrafik,

Thanks for your post.

I suspect that your entries per direction are set to a value of 1 with your entry handling set to "AllEntries", these are the strategy default settings and would allow for 1 entry only, per direction.

As you are using signal names, all you need to do is set the "Entry Handling to "UniquesEntries". (The signal names differentiate the entries making them unique so both entries would be made).

You can set this in the strategy itself or you can set this when you apply the strategy in the strategy parameters.
