Post From: ACSIL: Adding to a Position with OCOs

Before I spend any more hours on this... I would like to add to an open position. I am using attached orders. When I add the first position, all works as expected. But when I try to add the second position, it doesn't work. The code processes the order, but the order is never placed even though I have: sc.AllowMultipleEntriesInSameDirection = true; sc.SupportAttachedOrdersForTrading = true; sc.AllowEntryWithWorkingOrders = true; sc.MaximumPositionAllowed = 30; This example is what I need to accomplish: The first long position has a 2 point Stop and a 2 point Target. The second long position is added at a higher price and needs to also have a 2 point Stop and 2 point Target but... the new Stop/Target needs to be based on the second entry price. Meaning, along with two open positions at different prices, I would also have two Stops at different prices and two Targets at different prices. And so on... and so on... According to the docs, using Scale In will NOT place a new set of attached orders. It will simply increase the quantity of the original Stop/Target to match the new open position quantity. That is not what I want. When I add to positions manually on the DOM, I get exactly what I want, a new set of OCOs for every entry. Surely there must be a way to accomplish this using code. If I stop using attached orders and manually configure the OCO and place it using code, can I get a new set of OCOs every time I add to a position... or not? |
