3 entries at the same time

[kucharek]

Hello,

I want to open 3 positions at the same time - this is my code:

psize = (int) (Math.Round(((risk / (entry - sl)) * kurs) / 1000) * 1000);
							
tag_1 = "KPF LONG 1 M" +ctf;
tag_2 = "KPF LONG 2 M" +ctf;
tag_3 = "KPF LONG 3 M" +ctf;
														
Order_1 = EnterLongStop(BarsInProgress, true, psize, entry, tag_1);
Order_2 = EnterLongStop(BarsInProgress, true, psize, entry, tag_2);
Order_3 = EnterLongStop(BarsInProgress, true, psize, entry, tag_3);

I have set Entries per direction: 5 and Entry handling: AllEntries.

Only the first order goes active. The rest is inacitve.

What I am doing wrong? Please support.

Hello kucharek,

Thanks for the information.

From the Output I see a few different notable items.

2013-07-25 16:30:00 Entered internal PlaceOrder() method at 2013-07-25 16:30:00: BarsInProgress=24 Action=Buy OrderType=Stop Quantity=3*000 LimitPrice=0 StopPrice=1,4392'5 SignalName='KPF LONG 2 M10' FromEntrySignal=''

1. Is the Reason why you order was ignored. "Exceeded entry signals limit based on EntryHandling and EntriesPerDirection properties"

2. You have a multiseries script that has atleast 25 different dataseries in it.

So with that many different series it would be easy to get the 5 entries. If you are using unique names for each entry you may want to use "EntryHandling.UniqueEntries" and then define how many Unique entries you would like.
