Limitat of the number of entries.

[Czarek]

Hello. Can I set the limit of the number of particular EntryOrder can be executed, and prevent any further executions once the limit has been reached?

Hello Czarek,

Thank you for your post.

Are you referring to the number of entries at one time? If so, the strategy properties allow you to set EntriesPerDirection which is based on the EntryHandling property. The default value for these properties may be set in State.SetDefaults and the values may be adjusted on the UI when setting up the strategy:

• EntriesPerDirection - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...rdirection.htm
  • "Determines the maximum number of entries allowed per direction while a position is active based on the EntryHandling property."
• EntryHandling - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ryhandling.htm
  • May be set to AllEntries or UniqueEntries

Otherwise, if you mean overall you only want an entry to be executed X number of times in a strategy, then that entry will no longer be executed, you could set up an int in your strategy that increments each time the EntryOrder is executed. You could also have a bool that is set to true when the EntryOrder is allowed, and once that int reaches the desired count, the bool could then be set to false so the entry logic will no longer be executed.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.

Hi. Thanks for your reply.

How to set up an int in my strategy that increments each time the EntryOrder is executed?

Hello Czarek,

You would need to accomplish this with logic.

For example you can increment an integer as a counter, and require the integer value to be less than a specific number in the condition that submits the entry.
