Long/Short Only Option

[Fran888]

I'm using Strategy Builder. I would like to add a long only/short only/both option to the strategy so that I have to option to just buy or sell or have both turned on.
Thanks

Hell Fran888,

Thank you for your post.

This could be done by adding bool inputs on the Inputs and Variables screen of the builder. It would be most simple to work with only two bools - one for longs and one for shorts. Then, what you would do in your conditions, is you would check if the bools are true. For example, you could have a bool TradeLong and on any set that would submit a long entry, you would also add to the condition to check if TradeLong is true. On the other hand, you could also have a bool called TradeShort and for any sets that submit short entries, you would need to check if TradeShort is true.

More information about the Inputs and Variables screen may be found on the following page:
