not accumulating orders

dac · 2018-12-28T06:49:26+00:00

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 .
