Default Limiting open contract positions

I have a Strategy that places orders. I want to limit the number of contracts open at one time to 2.. I noticed my orders can sometimes cascade. How do I manage this?

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

Try setting the "Entries per direction" property of your Strategy when you start it to a less value. If your strategy enters 1 contract at a time, set this to 2, or if it enters 2 contracts per order, set it to 1.
