Hi all,
Im very new to Multicharts and looking to create a custom strategy with a couple of price channels, stop loss, trailing stop etc.
When creating my signal class that inherits from SignalObject, is it better practise to create one IOrderMarket instance and tell it to buy/sell etc from CalcBar, or would it be better to create 4 IOrderMarket instances (one for buy/sell/buytocover/sellshort) and execute them from CalcBar ?
I'm still struggling to get started with this. I guess I'm just after some general direction.
thanks!

Re: General strategy structure
Hello macs,
You need to create orders of all the types you need in Create method (4 IOrderMarket instances: one for buy/sell/buytocover/sellshort). Then you can use the orders in Calcbar method.
