How to prevent a strategy restarting after position exit?

[Borogove]

I'm at my wit's end. I've tried to use kill-switch booleans, and every version of the hallucinatory garbage that ChatGPT suggested. Every time an Exit Order gets hit, my strategy gleefully opens up a brand new position. Is there no way to kill the strategy from within?

Edit: Never mind! I figured it out - the method by which I was initializing my script was flawed, so that the KillSwitch bool was being reset. Fixed it by starting the script with an initialization condition of "if ((Bars.IsFirstBarOfSession == true) && (IsFirstTickOfBar == true))" instead of "if (marketPosition.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat." I'd delete the post if I could figure out how.

Hello Borogove,

That sounds like your condition to enter is remaining true so once it exits it is free to enter again. If the strategy should only place 1 trade total you could use a bool variable to stop it once it submits the order. For example:

private bool doOnce = false;
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
    if(doOnce == false)
   {
      // do the entry order one time
      doOnce = true;
   }
