How to get the numbers of open long/short entries in PT [SOLVED]

I'm coding a strategy to control the numbers of open long/short entries in PT but I found that only Portfolio_CurrentEntries function can be use.
Is there anyone has idea of how to separate the numbers of open long/short entries in PT?

However, if there is another open trade with 15,000 margin, then to the best of my knowledge the Portfolio_InvestedCapital would be 25,000. When I wrote my initial rep...

Re: What's the value of Portfolio_InvestedCapital? [SOLVED]

Trading is essentially risk management; therefore, one's answer should be dependent on the what one wants to achieve. For instance, I would use the actual amount of margin money (in your account) for calculating the risk percent per trade. However, the P/L is based on the full value of the underlyi...

Re: set exit order be cancelled issue

I use average line to set my entry and exit point. I thought IOG can make the line consistent smooth. Actually, I don't really know about IOG. Is that will be a problem to the setpercenttrailling? but the strategy is applied to all my charts.

Re: set exit order be cancelled issue

Thanks TJ, data1 is 1 tick, data2 is 1hrs, IOG. For GC, the new order is generated only when the price made a new High base on entryprice, but cancelled immediately, if no new high, new order won't be generated, that's because you can see 4~5 times new order was generated. The set-exit order can't b...
