My sc.Defaults are :
sc.AllowMultipleEntriesInSameDirection = false;
sc.AllowOnlyOneTradePerBar = true;
sc.MaintainTradeStatisticsAndTradesData = true;
sc.AlertOnlyOncePerBar = true;
sc.SupportReversals = true;
c.AllowEntryWithWorkingOrders = true;
sc.CancelAllWorkingOrdersOnExit = true;

I initial launch an order and a stop when certain conditions are met. Next, if another type of conditions are met I am launching a SCT_ORDERTYPE_TRIGGERED_TRAILING_STOP_3_OFFSETS as a BuyExit or SellExit depending on the entry needed. This works great bc the Trailing Stop will launch with sc.AllowMultipleEntriesInSameDirection = false. The issue is that when a reversal condition is met. The order cancels out the reversal order if the trailing stop did not close out the initial order.

I need to have sc.AllowMultipleEntriesInSameDirection set to false bc if not my system will launch multiple entries. If I try to use sc.GetTradePosition and require the entry to launch if sc.GetTradePosition = -1 meaning it's not in a trade then my entries will not reverse bc it's in a trade when the reversing entry is launched.

If I change SCT_ORDERTYPE_TRIGGERED_TRAILING_STOP_3_OFFSETS to a BuyEntry / SellEntry the orders will not launch bc I have sc.AllowMultipleEntriesInSameDirection set to false. Any suggestions? I feel like I am running in circles.
