Unique Entries in Strategy

[amigatlin]

Hello,

I have a user input that ask how many contracts they want to enter per trade. Im using that interger to populate the EnterLong and EnterShort Quantity. I want to be able to give each entry a unique name such as "enterLong1" "enterLong2" etc. And I want to be able to set stop loss and profit target for each. Is there a way I can accomplish this?

The issue im running into is that I have a profitTarget and stopLoss and its spreading each out across the number of enries. I.e. User enters 10 contracts with $50 profit. The strategy is speading that profit across the 10 contracts. Meaning each contract takes profit at $5 for a total of $50. Im wanting each to take a $50 profit.

Hello amigatlin,

The signalName is the name of the order.

EnterLong(int quantity, string signalName)

The fromEntrySignal attaches an exit to a specific entry's signalName.
