Hello,

Thanks for your note.

Just so I can send you correct information. How are you placing the trades, EnterLong() for example?

I look forward to assisting you further.

yes, simple method for now:

EnterLong(4,1,"GC");

Hello,

You have mentioned one way to submit orders.

However I would not recommend this as you want it to be tied to the correct bars in progress.

Here is the best way to do this.

if ( BarsInProgress == 4)
{

EnterLong(1 ,"GC");

}

This way you only submit on the current BIP in process and it is maintained as you expect.
