Hi George!
Is there a way to exit a scaled-in (pyramided) strategy in one single order? Say your strategy is set to \”allow up to [n] entry orders\” as configured in the Strategy Properties.
Let\’s say you\’ve set it to [7]. Your strategy goes out there and accumulates 7 separate signals/buy orders. Then your strategy generates a sell signal. Currently, TS will issue 7 individual sell orders for each of the 7 buys. This is expensive.
What could be done in the strategy code to make it possible to SUM or TOTAL all shares from the 7 buys and then to send a single sell order covering all shares?
Thank you!
Hello D G – sorry for the late reply. Is it issuing N exit orders during automation? If automation is on and you turn it off does it still proffer N exit orders in the TradeManager window – via simulation? Again sorry for the delay in my response. Just let me know and/or if you figured it out.
Best George
