not accumulating orders

  hello

  my code is not accumulating orders when actually putting a order on top of another one with real money.

  Let me explain more . My code works fine (DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = True // Cumulating positions deactivated) on the test screen in real time and the trade shows up at the exact time it should. But

  when I check if actual order was placed, it wasn’t . Its the same code exactly as I only have a single code .

  So the code shows me the trade but the actual order is not placed on the second,third order etc. .

  Thanks in advance .

  When you launched your strategy, how many contracts did you allow?

  If you wrote 1, no matter what your strategy does just 1 contract at most will be allowed. If youe strategy wants to buy, say, 100 contracts, then you can reduce that limit at runtime by setting a lower number when you launch the strategy.

  thanking you .

  yes I put in 1 contract as I only trade a single contract at a time i.e. 10 dollars ,not 20 dollars etc.

  I thought it was a failsafe on an individual contract , not a number of trades over a set code cycle .

  When contracts is both the value of a trade and how many trades per code cycle, i was confused.

  Maybe it’s just me!

  I will adjust .

  Thanks  again for your fast response .
