Hi, Suppose I call sc.BuyEntry 5 times with qty 1 and all the orders get filled at different entry prices/times, giving five long position. When sc.BuyExit with qty 1 is called, I think first trade is getting closed based on FIFO rules, in the Trade Activity Log. Is it possible to exit trade which was entered second, using sc.BuyExit, instead of the first trade? Regards Vivek |

No this kind of concept does not exist at all. Order fill matching can either be done using FIFO or LIFO at the time of generating a Trades list.

Hmm, Can this be taken as an enhancement request. Ie provide an additional field to struct s_SCNewOrder like - CloseOrderID, and close that particular trade / position created by that trade only.

No absolutely not. Will never happen. Sierra Chart is not your choice if this is what you are looking for. And we are not taking feature requests now anyway.

Our answer above is from the perspective of how Sierra Chart is tracking the Trade Position Average Price. This is something that we are not going to change beyond the two different order fill matching methods we have now. If you are looking to match order fills in your own way and then calculate your own average price separately, this is certainly possible or to do whatever you need. You have full access to the order fills to accomplish this: Automated Trading From an Advanced Custom Study: sc.GetOrderFillEntry() Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Thanks for your response. Just wanted to understand, how does a change in exit functionality impact the Position Average Price. |

We do not understand the question.
