I want to be able to open multiple trades in the same direction

[capitalfreedom]

Hi all, i want to be able to open multiple trades in the same direction. how can I do this? should i just not include the "no trade block"

[jstap]

@drewliedadeuce Personally I use another tree with diffract group numbers, maybe have a if trade so it only enters group 1 etc if a group 0 etc is already running.

[capitalfreedom]

but i want them to be using the same logic. shouldn't there be a simpler way?

[jstap]

@drewliedadeuce The same logic on a different point in time? otherwise just use a larger lot size, you could possibly use a once per bar condition but this depends on how your stratagy works.

[capitalfreedom]

No, it is for the same timeframe.

For instance,

a sell opens when conditions are met but has not yet closed, but another sell opportunity has met the same conditions on the same timeframe and should be opened. this is what i want to happen

[jstap]

@drewliedadeuce I didn't mention time frame, I mentioned a different time, I would use groups.

[capitalfreedom]

I do not believe groups is the resolution as I am using the same logic. however i appreciate your suggestion

[capitalfreedom]

@l-andorrà may i kindly ask if you have any suggestions?

[Youngtreptrader]

@drewliedadeuce lol idk why he was talking about groups but yes remove no trade block. now be aware that when you do this a trade will be taking on everytick as long as conditions are met. if you want to filter how many trades or frequency from here thare are various ways to do so. if you can please share a link to project if u need further help

[jstap]

@drewliedadeuce @Youngtreptrader The reason I like to use groups is because of this logic:

Group 0 is running
Group 1 is not
Group 0 has been running for (so long)
conditions are met for trade
enter a group 1 trade

at this point you can then control the different trades differently using the group numbers.

[Youngtreptrader]

@jstap hes not asking about controlling groups of trades he just want multiple trades open

[jstap]

@youngtreptrader Yes and I use groups to control this.

[Youngtreptrader]

@jstap bro ur being confusing. lol. no ones asking to control the multiple trades. it will loop by it self

[l'andorrà]

@drewliedadeuce Well, that depends on your strategy. How often do you want those trades to be open? Every new candle? Every 20 pips? ...

[capitalfreedom]

i figured it out guys. thanks for your help

@drewliedadeuce
Hi Drew
How did you get this right for multiple trades ---- i have the same problem

[l'andorrà]

@drewliedadeuce You're welcome

[capitalfreedom]

@mjardim yes, i removed the "no trade" block and it worked

[mjardim]

@drewliedadeuce HI
Thanks for getting back to me .. struggling a bit on this side .... so did you replace it with the " once per bar" block

[capitalfreedom]

you're welcome, the once per bar block is not necessary.
