Hi Kevin, thanks for posting.

Please see the SampleMACrossover strategy as a good example strategy that only enters one contract per side. If you are unable to identify the issue in the strategy you are working with currently, you will need to reduce the strategy code down until the issue is recognized. Also, the best way to test a strategy is through the playback connection where you can identify a single section of data where your strategy reaches its entry signal and play back that section over and over for testing:

Hi Kevin,

You can add an int input to the strategy class like so:

[Range(1, int.MaxValue), NinjaScriptProperty]
[Display(ResourceType = typeof(Custom.Resource), Name = "Quantity", GroupName = "NinjaScriptStrategyParameters", Order = 0)]
public int Quant
{ get; set; }

Then use it in an order entry method e.g.

EnterLong(Quant);

Kind regards,

Hi Kevin,

We have documentation here on using the Inputs and Variables section of the builder:

Heres an example of how you would use this "Quantity" integer:
