How to enter 2 separate orders based on the same signal.

[tjendra]

I want to create 2 separate orders using the same signal in strategy builder so I can manage each order separately, one using profit target and another using trailing stop. However, when I test this strategy, I notice only 1 of the order will execute and the other won't. What's wrong?

Hello tjendra,

Thanks for your post.

Please check the EntryHandling and EntriesPerDirection properties set in the strategy. Default values are set in the Default Properties page of the Strategy Builder under More Properties and these settings can be configured in the Strategies dialog when setting up the strategy.

Both of these properties will need to allow your multiple entry orders to fire.

EntriesPerDirection - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...rdirection.htm

We look forward to assisting.
