I am trying to test a strategy that opens a buy and a sell on a currency pair at the same time. Both orders have the same take profit and stop loss so I am trying to have both orders have the same ATM.
I apply my orders by right clicking on the chart and creating a line. Then I drag the line (buy or sell order) to the price I want to get in with.
The first order is fine it enters with my ATM parameters. Problem is I try to quickly enter an opposite order (buy or sell) and instead of it being a separate order it uses the new order as a stop loss or take profit line of the existing order and closes the previous trade out rather than starting a whole different trade.
I am demoing with MBT and Ninja Trader and I would like to know a couple of things of how to implement this strategy.
How do you have 2 separate orders on the same currency at the same time?
Is it possible to do this in chart mode?
Is it possible to create a strategy that issues a buy and sell at the same time each with their own Take Profit and Stop loss?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks,
M
