[ephi144]

i am using the following statements in my strategy
Buy("Long 2") 2 contracts next bar at open;

however, the number of open contracts are only 1. I write the currentcontracts variable out to a file this is how i know that its 1.


why?

what i am trying to do is :
if condition 1 is met then
buy 2 contracts this bar;
sold = false
end;

if ConditionX is met then
sell 1 contract this bar;
sold = true;
end;

if sold = true then
setstopcontracts;
setDollarTrailingStop(xxx );
end;

help!!

I believe you need to enable contract 'Pyramiding' in your strategy options. this allows you to send multiple orders in the same EL pass.
