    Possible to have strategy be long/short simultaneously?

    Howdy.

    I have an interest in simulating trading an account that would allow opposing signals, or two separate accounts where opposing signals would be taken.

    I am currently pulling signals from an M15 primary bar series, and casting entry signals to an M1 as shown in the image attached.

    I am giving unique names to each long and short position.

    I have tried all combinations of EntriesPerDirection and EntryHandling. It will either reverse the position, or ignore the opposing signal(in the case of using EnterLongLimit() for example).

    Is what I am trying to do possible?

    Hello forrestang,

    An account cannot be long and short at the same time. When you enter into a position its a simple quantity on the account, for example 1 long, entering another simple quantity in the opposite direction subtracts 1 which makes that flat.

    To be long and short would require using more than 1 account. A strategy cannot use more than 1 account for its reporting and other features. You could do this using an Indicator and two sim accounts, the indicator would need to use the addon framework to submit orders.
