For the system it’s ONE strategy, so you can’t split the Capital among the two separate logical entries.
If you want to allow both entries go the same direction, then you need to allow accumulating orders, then do not check that you are onmarket when openuing a new piosition.
If, instead, you only want to allow them to go the opposite directions, then you have to bear in mind that the same strategy CANNOT open two opposite trades. So in this case you will need to resort to Stop & Reverse, thus closing the LONG trade when you want to go SHORT and viceversa.
