  Dear Community,

  in backtesting, my algo opens several positions within1 Candle (DAX – Timeframe 1mn)

  I want to avoid “defparam cumulate orders = false”, because I want open another position if there is an entry conditions later a day, but not within the same candle.

  Maybe, it is only a backtesting problem, I am not sure. Attached, I have simple code to demonstrate my problem.

  Can anybody help me please?

  Thanks in advance and best regards!

  As I can read in your code, it’s impossible that more than 1 short trade is entered on the same candle on the 1-minute bar if you are using a 1-minute timeframe, because once the entry conditions are met they won’t be evaluated again until next bar.

  It only may occur if you are using a lower timeframe.

  Please post the code you are using and info about the default timeframe.
