Is it possible to set up my strategy to enter each time a signal occurs all with the same stop and target ?

I want it to enter in the same direction although a position is already established . Although it would be in the same direction I want the stop and target to be independant from the prior entry or entries .

Right now I have order handling set up...

Entries per direction 1
Entry handling AllEntries
Stop & target submission PerEntryExecution

Hi starrynight, not sure I follow: do you want to add to your position but keep amending the existing stop / target orders?

Please also review this link - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...tegiesTab.html

Hi Bertrand ,

Not exactly , I want my strategy to enter each time a signal occurs . I want each entry to be covered with a stop and target . I want each of those stops and targets to be seperate and on their own in regards to the other stops and targets already playing out .

In other words if my strategy produces 3 signals during the course of the day I need each signal to enter the market , so I'll have 3 different stops 20 ticks away from whatever the entry prices were ( stops at 3 different prices ) and 3 different targets 60 ticks away from whatever the entry prices were ( targets at 3 different prices ).

I need each stop and target to be independant from the other and if one or more levels is hit it will not effect the other(s).

Use PerEntryExecution and then bump up your EntriesPerDirection to 100 or some arbitrarily high number. That will then allow you to enter on every single signal despite of preexisting positions.
