Counting Multiple Entries

Postby Ecoarsey » 09 Sep 2011

I have a strategy that scales in using multiple entries- the limit order price is adjusted by a factor of the entry count. Is there a simple, robust way to increment this counter whenever the next entry is filled and reset it to 0 when the position is exited?

Dear Ecoarsey,

You can use CurrentContracts keyword for this purpose. It returns an absolute numerical value, indicating the number of contracts or shares held in the current position.
