Hello I've learnt how to limit the number of open positions to 1. However, I can't figure out how to limit the number of open positions to 1 long and 1 short at any time & then open no more orders? Thanks

Hi,
There is several ways to do this depending on your strategy; Here is one way for instance: You need to use the position viewer block and store the variable related to your open positions then use the the Boolean variable "Position is Long" to differentiate long/short positions.

Hi I am experimenting with no luck & I can't post .vfs because the board is full so here is a picture. Strategy is working opening pending orders so if a position is long or short is already defined... Its just I would like only one short & one long open at any time, so maybe it has to be if a sell position is open then no more sell pending orders are placed, but one buy order can still be placed and then no more until a position hits a stop loss? Any more help gratefully received Thank you!

Hello, still struggling with this I have added the blocks below to the strategy, but it closes the old position when a new one is filled... I have tried using the variable Pending Positions amount in the positions viewer but that doesn't work. What am i doing wrong? Thanks   Sorry these variables are My_Pos.Position is Long true and the other false and Pending Positions. Positions Amount = 1

Hi Amine Many thanks for the reply, this almost works but it doesn't place new orders after a position is stopped. I tried it with my strategy too and it only works once.. I'd like to be able to place a new pending short if the short gets stopped and a new pending long when the long stops but still only one position per side, is that possible? Thanks for your time!

Hi,
Then you have to reset the logic variables (Booleans) back to their initial value in order to trade again.
Check the attached example, you may need to add your trading period filter ...
