One Trade Per Side

[Fran888]

I would like to include a condition for a strategy to take one trade per side. How can I do this? Thanks.

Hello, thanks for writing in.

A strategy can only be long or short, not both at the same time. Is this your question?

No. Want the strategy to take one long and one short. Not to continue taking trades after one trade is executed. One trade per side. Thanks.

Hello, thanks for the clarification. You can use boolean variables to control if a condition should trigger or not. E.g. set up two boolean variables, one for the first long position and one for the first short position, then set this so true once the strategy triggers EnterLong/EnterShort. I attached my script for reference.
