Hello,
My question involves initiating multiple orders through spreadsheet automated system. I wish to be able to hold and add multiple long and short positions without restriction. I have been through the spreadsheet system for trading criteria settings and it seems that I have the settings correct but not getting the desired result.
For example, If I'm long 2 positions (added from the calculated Buy Entry) and want to add two short positions via Sell Entry, I want to keep all trades active and not have the the long positions reduced when adding short positions. I know it results in the same hedging effect but I want to keep all trades active and see all 4 positions (and with their respective stops/targets)
I have;
Maximum positions allowed greater than the total number of positions I want (say set to 6)
Allow multiple entries in same direction = Yes
Support Reversals = No
Allow opposite entry with opposing positions = Yes

Could you assist on how to do this.

Regards
George
