Hi- Need help navigating ACSIL in terms of coding in amount or dollars per trade. Also, when using sc.allowmultipleentriesinsamedirection, does this apply to stricly one symbol or is it just having on open position negate more trades?

Thx

sc.CurrencyValuePerTick can be used for currency calculations.

sc.AllowMultipleEntriesInSameDirection applies to the specific Symbol and Trade Account for the chart.

Great, I will be using unmanaged automated trading and I would like to limit entry of orders depending on current value or contracts and I understand that sc.AllowMultipleEntriesInSameDirection would not work for this.

Would I be able to limit value or contracts based on not only K & M columns but also depending on if I currently have a working/attached order in previously?

For instance when using ACSIL, I have a buy entry via column K, I would only then re-enter a trade if there were no working/attached orders related to K column.

Does this make sense? Im sorry im new to SC.

The main purpose of this function would be to limit existing buy orders to a certain monetary while also limiting sell signals to a certain monetary when receiving more alerts in the same direction. Also would a variable like sc.MaximumPositionAllowed be something I could use, but also make it relevant to buy/sell entries/orders?

For unmanaged automated trading, sc.MaximumPositionAllowed would not seem to be what you want to use.

For unmanaged automated trading you would need to look at all of the working orders and the current Trade Position.

For the Position you can get that with: sc.GetTradePosition.
