Only one enter long order is triggered when all conditions are met

[Gav_G]

Hi

I have created a strategy to test using the strategy builder wizard. I've used the wizard to get the framework of the system sorted, & am expecting to update the code for some of the more details conditions.

When my conditions are met I want to create 2 buy market orders. I've created them both in the wizard but only one is being triggered, the first one in the list.

I've tried to set the unique entries or all entries, I've also changed from number of entries per direction to 2. Something isn't working correctly here but I'm not sure why.

The reason I want to use 2 orders is so that I can have one set to a fixed profit target & one will use a trailing stop that I'm going to have to code myself I think.

Any help would be appreciated, please see the code below

EntriesPerDirection                        = 1;
EntryHandling                                = EntryHandling.UniqueEntries;

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
            if (BarsInProgress != 0) 
                return;

            if (CurrentBars[0] < 1)
                return;

             // Set 1
            if ((RSI1.Avg[0] > RSI_long))
            {
                EnterLong(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantity), @"Buy_2");
                EnterLong(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantity), @"Buy_1");
            }

             // Set 2
            if (Close[0] < HMA1[0])
            {
                ExitLong(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantity), @"Exit_Long_1", @"Buy_1");
                ExitLong(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantity), @"Exit_Long_2", @"Buy_2");
            }

        }

In the above example only Buy_2 is being created

Hi Emma, thanks for the response, I've tried this but it's not working

If I'm using multiple entries I'm assuming I should use unique entries though?

Hello Gav_G,

Unique entries would allow for both entries when each entry has a unique signal name.

Have these default settings been changed and the script compiled since the script was added to a chart? (If so, remove and re-add the instance from the chart to reload the defaults)

If that does not correct the behavior, may I test the script on my end?

Hi Chelsea

Thanks for this, I now have this working, I think it was due to me needing to re add it to the chart.

I was using the strategy analyser which I had open, I was compiling in the strategy builder & then hitting run. Am I right in saying that for default settings to take effect, I would need to close & reopen the strategy analyser?

[NinjaTrader_ChelseaB]

Hello Gav_G,

I would expect defaults to take effect immediately in the Strategy Analyzer without having to close it.

I've tested on my end to confirm. Are you able to reproduce this behavior with the Strategy Analyzer?

[Gav_G]

I will test his & let you know if I see any different behaviour
