Hey guys,
how is it possible to make a strategy for example to only open a maximum of 2 positions, a long one and a short one. So if there is already an open long positions, the strategy couldn't open any more long positions, only if requirements met a short position, same the other way around.
restricting the strategy from opening more than a certain amount of positions is easy though I haven't figured it out yet how to restrict it on a certain amount of short and long positions.
id'll be great if anyone could take the time.
thanks,
artur

Greetings!
You can do it by assigning a counter-variable after each Open at market, which lets you count the number of long and short positions.
I do not know what you want to program but this would be the easiest way to do it. There are couple of more possibilities of how this could be done...
Maybe you try to implement that and if you have problems please post the strategy... Maybe we have to do something else in order to make it work (it roughly depends on the logic)
Cheers

https://screencast.com/t/SBCS5xRn28What am I doing wrong? My idea is to only allow short trades after long trades and long trades after short trades. I tested the strategy and it stopped opening positions after the first trade. thx in advance!

Greetings! Ok, in that specific case (like I said before, I do not know the rest of the strat), please have a look at the strat attached. But what you will do, once a position is closed?  BTW: If you just want to calculate ALL Long and Short positions each, there is another easy way of how to do it; please find attached. Cheers

thanks, the idea is to never have two trades in a row open in the same direction. basically to only allow counter positions... even if the strategy receives a heads up for an other long trade after a long trade, it should reject that one until it receives a signal for a short trade and so on.
