Hello,
defparam cumulateorders=true
means you can have several positions open on the same instrument. However, it seems this also means stop losses and take profit will “average out”.
How can you code it so that each trade is “individual” but still that the system allows for several positions to be opened? defparam cumulateorders=false means just one position at a time….
thanks and best regards
09/27/2024 at 9:45 AM #238126Hello,
You are correct that defparam cumulateorders=true allows multiple positions to be opened on the same instrument, and in this mode, stop loss and take profit orders are often handled in a cumulative way. If you want to have more control over individual exits while still allowing multiple positions, you need to program different exit levels based on specific conditions.To achieve this, you can monitor the number of open positions and set different exit levels using stop and limit orders. Here’s how you can manage it:
1) Track the number of open positions: Keep track of how many positions are open and apply exit conditions accordingly.
2) Set different exit levels: Use SELL n CONTRACTS AT priceStopX STOP and SELL n CONTRACTS AT priceTPX LIMIT to define different exit levels based on your desired conditions.09/27/2024 at 10:12 AM #238130It means that you can open additional positions, after the first one, in the same direction.
Stop Loss and Profits will be averaged out (see attached pic and eXcel sheet).
Be warned that drawdown and required margins will increase accordinly.
09/27/2024 at 11:08 AM #238137Thanks a lot to both of you.
The code im using is here, this is for a short strategy. Is there a simple way to change the code so that each order is “individual” basis the same conditions…?
best regards

10/07/2024 at 8:25 AM #238556You cant have seperate orders in the same stratergy.
cumulateorders=true will just add contracts to your current position.
The only way around that would be differnet exits for even/odd numbers off contracts or exits based on the amount off contracts in the market.
