Hi, hope someone can help on this one.
I've a signal that creates BUY and SELL orders:

buy_order = OrderCreator.MarketNextBar(new SOrderParameters(Contracts.CreateUserSpecified(PositionSize), "Bolder LE", EOrderAction.Buy)); //BUY

sell_order = OrderCreator.MarketNextBar(new SOrderParameters(Contracts.CreateUserSpecified(PositionSize), "Bolder SE", EOrderAction.SellShort)); //SELL

where PositionSize = 4

Nevertheless when the order is submitted, it only opens a position with 1 contract. Why ??
Is there any configuration limiting the number of contracts to just 1 ??

Help is appreciated.

JohnJo.

JohnJo,

I would suggest checking the value for PositionSize when you create the order objects. It might not have a value of 4 at that time.

Another approach could be to create the order objects using:
 
Code 
buy_order = OrderCreator.MarketNextBar(new SOrderParameters(Contracts.UserSpecified, "Bolder LE", EOrderAction.Buy)); //BUY
and to specify the size when your code actually issues the order.

Hi, yes I've placed a writeline statement and the value of PositionSize = 4 , but when the order is sent for unkown reason the value is set to 1. I will try your suggestion to set the method Send(int numLots) at the execution time.
Thanks for your help.
