EnterLongLimit and EnterShortLimit simultaneously

[toc17]

Hello,
I am working with NT8

I want to make a simple gap strategy, that send buy limit and short limit orders to both sides of a day gap. But only the first limit order is effective in Strategy Analyzer

Code:
if (Times[0][0].TimeOfDay == InicioSesion.TimeOfDay)
{
if (OpenHoy > CloseAyer){
paraLong = CloseAyer - AnchoZonas;
paraShort = OpenHoy + AnchoZonas;
}else{
paraLong = OpenHoy - AnchoZonas;
paraShort = CloseAyer + AnchoZonas;
}
EnterLongLimit(1, paraLong, @"limitLargo");
EnterShortLimit(1, paraShort, @"limitCorto");
}

I also observe that the order is only executed in the following bar, but I want both limit ordes to be GTC, and I have Time in Force = GTC in Strategy Analyzer

What is wrong?

Hello toc17,
Thanks for your post.

I would not expect for the EnterShortLimitOrder() to ever get placed as it conflicts with NinjaTraders Internal Order Handling Rules. Please see the following link for more information on these rules and the other considerations you will need to make while using the Managed Approach.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank Josh! By the way, I use NT8

I found the explanation for one of my problems, , but I can't find any explanation for not executing the second order:

EnterLongLimit(0,true,1, paraLong, @"limitLargo");
EnterShortLimit(0,true,1, paraShort, @"limitCorto");

Could you please post a link to an explanation of this?

toc17,

It's in the link I posted above in the Order handling rules section. I will quote the relevant section below, for your convenience.

Methods that generate orders to enter a position will be ignored if:

• A position is open and an order submitted by an exit method (ExitLongLimit() for example) is active and the order is used to open a position in the opposite direction
• A position is open and an order submitted by a set method (SetStopLoss() for example) is active and the order is used to open a position in the opposite direction
• The strategy position is flat and an order submitted by an enter method (EnterLongLimit() for example) is active and the order is used to open a position in the opposite direction
• The entry signal name is not unique

If you would like information about NT8, please post in the NT8 forum. Here is the Order handling rules section of the NT8 help guide.

Thanks! Now everything is clear cause I didn't realize this conflict may be the reason of my issue. Glad I found this info!
