How to, Enter trade only 1 per play

[SuperDude123]

Hi
I want to enter only 1 trade when criteria fit. For example

5ema greater 10ema
Cci14 greater 100
then enter long.
exit after 5 candles

next play would be short play, so even if thing keep on moving up, I just want to play 5 candle and next play would be opposite of that and enter short.

I know how to do it when say
3ema cross above 10ema.
But the one I want, won't have anything crossing. Just ema and cci going the same way at the same time.

I'm doing this on strategies builder so no crazy code please. Thank you

this allows setting of one trade after setting up the strategy builder, see attached.

Thank for replying
I dont mean to enter 1 order per trade. I mean to enter a trade when both criteria fit. Say if it enter long and exit, next play should be short only and next is long.......

Hello SuperDude123,

Thank you for your post.

You could use several bools that you flip from true to false when one of the directions is entered/exited. I've created a simple example in the Strategy Builder. After you import the attached script, you can open a new Strategy Builder window (New > Strategy Builder) and select LongFlatShortRepeatExample from the dropdown. You can then use the Strategy Builder's navigation buttons to review the logic.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.
