.Send(num_lots) is not sending the proper number of orders  [SOLVED]

In my Create() section, my order is being set up exactly as instructed by the documentation and IDE. However, when I try to use the my_order.Send() method and specify a number of lots, it continues using the default of 1 instead of the num_contracts integer which I am specifying.
In CalcBar() section, I have the following code which does not produce the desired result. Every time it runs, it will create an order with 1 contract: I have verified via Expert Commentary that num_contracts contains an integer larger than 1.

Am I using this correctly? Is there better recommended approach to modifying the number of lots on the fly?

Thanks!

Code: Select all

my_order =
OrderCreator.MarketNextBar(new SOrderParameters(EOrderAction.SellShort, "my_order"));

In CalcBar() section, I have the following code which does not produce the desired result. Every time it runs, it will create an order with 1 contract:

If you want to specify the number of contracts in the code (instead of the default value taken from the 'Strategy Properties' window), you'll need to explicitly set this when creating the order in `Create()`, like so:

So, you mean it is not possible to specify the number dynamically??!

In order to specify 1-10 lots, I'm going to need to create 10 different orders?

If what you said is correct, why on earth is this overload available?

Nevermind. What you suggested worked. Thank you.
