Definition

Sets the manner in how entry orders will handle.

 

Note:  This property ONLY applies to Managed order methods.  When IsUnmanaged is set to true, Entry Handling properties will be hidden from the UI.

 

 

Property Value

An enum which sets how the entry orders are handled.  Default value is EntryHandling.AllEntries.  Possible values include:

 

EntryHandling.AllEntries

NinjaScript will process all order entry methods until the maximum allowable entries set by the EntriesPerDirection property is reached while in an open position

EntryHandling.UniqueEntries

NinjaScript will process order entry methods until the maximum allowable entries set by the EntriesPerDirection property per each uniquely named entry

 

Warning:  This property should ONLY bet set from the OnStateChange() method during State.SetDefaults or State.Configure

 

 

Syntax

EntryHandling

 

 

Examples

ns Allow a maximum of two entries while a position is open

// Example #1
protected override void OnStateChange()
{
    if (State == State.SetDefaults)
    {
        EntriesPerDirection = 2;
        EntryHandling = EntryHandling.AllEntries;
    }
}
 
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
    if (CrossAbove(SMA(10), SMA(20), 1)
        EnterLong("SMA Cross Entry");
}

 

 

ns EnterLong() will be processed once for each uniquely named entry.

// Example #2
protected override void OnStateChange()
{
    if (State == State.SetDefaults)
    {
        EntriesPerDirection = 1;
        EntryHandling = EntryHandling.UniqueEntries;
    }
}
 
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
    if (CrossAbove(SMA(10), SMA(20), 1)
        EnterLong("SMA Cross Entry");
 
    if (CrossAbove(RSI(14, 3), 30, 1)
        EnterLong("RSI Cross Entry");
}
