How to create long and short orders at same time?

[westofpluto]

I have a strategy where I am trying to submit both a long stop entry order and a short stop entry order at the same time:

EnterLongStopMarket(0,true,Pos1Size, longEntryPrice, LONG_ENTRY_1_NAME);
EnterShortStopMarket(0,true,Pos1Size, shortEntryPrice, SHORT_ENTRY_1_NAME);

However, the long entry is submitted but the short entry is rejected.

Please tell me the correct method to enter two simultaneous entry orders: a long above the market and a short below the market

You need to use the Unmanaged Approach to do that.

Hello westofpluto,

Thanks for your post.

An Unmanaged example that demonstrates is attached. It is built in close relation to the SampleOnOrderUpdate strategy, so if you are not as familiar with that strategy and the concepts involved, I suggest reviewing that strategy first.

We look forward to assisting.
