Crazy amount of entries

[TDHarris5]

Does anyone have any idea why I am getting so many entries like this?

Hi TDHarris5, thanks for writing in. Is the strategy running OnEachTick or OnPriceChanged? Please also share how you are exiting the position. Please include screen shots of all the sets in use.

Kind regards,

Hi Chris,

I am using on price change and the exit is just a hard stop.

I tried changing it to on each tick and I am still having the same issue.

Hi TDHarris5, thanks for your reply. I have an example here that shows how to do one trade per bar in a OnEachTick strategy;

Hi Chris,

I read through that post of how to set one trade per bar but I am still lost. Could you walk me through how it should look in the Strategy Builder?

Thanks

Hi TDHarris5, thanks for the follow up. The code/builder example can be downloaded from Post Albums on that thread. Please first download it and then go to Tools>Import to import the .zip file. After this, you can open up the example through the builder and study how it works. It works by keeping track of two variables, EntryBar and ActiveBar. EntryBar is set when the strategy enters the market, then the strategy won't enter Set 2 again while EntryBar = CurrentBar because part of the entry condition in Set 2 requires EntryBar to = -1. It will get reset in Set 1 when the ActiveBar is no longer equal to CurrentBar.

Kind regards,
