Just 1 order per day?

[SpaceGrey]

Hey there,

So i programmed a strategy that opens a order every Wednesday.
I also added a stoploss to it.

if (Time[0].DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Wednesday)


{
				EnterLong(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantity), "");
			
			
		}

The only problem I have is that im getting more then 1 order per day because the old order got stopped.

So if a order gets in and this order gets stopped, a second order gets in.


Is there a way to limit this?

I only want 1 order per day.

Use a boolean flag.

//In Variables section
private bool TradingEnabled = false;

//In OBU
if (Time[0].DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Tuesday)
{
                TradingEnabled = true;
} 
       
if (Time[0].DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Wednesday && TradingEnabled)
{
                EnterLong(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantity), "");
                TradingEnabled = false;
}

Hm that doesnt seem to work:

This is how I did it:

  

// my variable section
	private bool TradingEnabled = false;





// my onBarUpdate() section

 // set 1
			if (Time[0].DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Wednesday)
			{
				EnterLong(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantity), "");
			TradingEnabled = true;
				
			
		}		



I still have more then one order every wednesday

Hello SpaceGrey,

I have attached a sample which will make only 1 trade per day.

To do this I reset the bool in the if statement,

if (Bars.IsFirstBarOfSession == true)

Please see attached and let us know if you need further assistance.
