Thanks for taking the time to reply. But I have not found much mention of "order tracking" in the docs. Can you provide a bit more guidance in that regard? I need to work out if there is an existing working order, I think it might involve this? Automated Trading From an Advanced Custom Study: IsWorkingOrderStatus() And maybe these two https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/ACSILTrading.html#GettingOrderInformation Automated Trading From an Advanced Custom Study: sc.GetOrderByIndex I also found this in the SC forum, but no mention of it in the docs: PositionData.WorkingOrdersExist So I tried this, but the compiler doesn't like it. I have to declare PositionData, which I am trying to do without success. int Hour = BarDateTime.GetHour();
int Minute = BarDateTime.GetMinute(); int Second = BarDateTime.GetSecond(); int workingOrderExists = PositionData.WorkingOrdersExist(); if(Hour == 10 && Minute == 45 && Second == 0 && !workingOrderExists) { This example code form SC Engineering uses && !PositionData.WorkingOrdersExist seemingly without declaring it, but I cant find a way to use it in the same manner... Simple ACSIL example to scale in to a trade Here is my attempt. Compiler tells me "error: 'PositionData' was not declared in this scope; did you mean 's_SCPositionData'?". int Hour = BarDateTime.GetHour();
int Minute = BarDateTime.GetMinute(); int Second = BarDateTime.GetSecond(); //int workingOrderExists = PositionData.WorkingOrdersExist(); if(Hour == 10 && Minute == 45 && Second == 0 && !PositionData.WorkingOrdersExist) { So I looked on the internet and found a hint, this is what I have and it compiles! But I still get rapidly incrementing new orders being added, so I think && !PositionData.WorkingOrdersExist isn't working as hoped. s_SCPositionData PositionData;
int Hour = BarDateTime.GetHour(); int Minute = BarDateTime.GetMinute(); int Second = BarDateTime.GetSecond(); if(Hour == 10 && Minute == 45 && Second == 0 && !PositionData.WorkingOrdersExist) { I have no idea how to use the above properly. Sorry for all these details, I am trying to demonstrate what I have attempted myself before asking for help :) I tried these, but didn't work, but I am not surprised. sc.AllowMultipleEntriesInSameDirection = false;
sc.MaximumPositionAllowed = 1; And my ongoing concern, why didn't the "Seconds == 0" condition work? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-11-26 01:25:46
