Open some longs while keeping the shorts

Postby Fabrice » 26 Nov 2012

I have 10 shorts that I wish to keep overnight. I want to open and close 5 longs today. Is this possible ?
From what I have experienced, if I open 5 longs, MC will cover 5 of the 10 shorts and the result will be : 5 shorts. Instead of what I would like : 10 shorts, and 5 longs.

Hello Fabrice,

Unfortunately MultiCharts doesn't support hedging. It means that if you trade on 1 and the same symbol, you have 1 net position that can be closed or opened, you cannot have 2 separate positions.
