I’m trying to write a system but I have troubles with the trade management, in particular how can I write : " when x happens sell half of the position, when y happens finally close all the position?” (for instance i enter a position with 3000 stocks and then i want to sell first 1000, then 2000 at different points)
I tried with simulation formulas, I think they can be useful for my purpose but I did not manage.
Can you help me?
Thank you

If you enter the postion with 3000 there is no way to close part of the postion.
If you entered three positions each with 1000 then you could close these individually.

yes, good idea! But how can I write it ?
I mean : Buy Order : formula : condition, how can I write buy two or three positions ?
Do I have to run different trading systems and then sum the equity lines? it's really unconfortable, what did you mean exactly with your post?
thank you very much

Multiple buys and sells are nto written into a system. Edit a System Test on the general tab there is a option to set potfolio bias to multiple. This will make the system tester buy every time you have a buy signal, if you have several buy signals in a row.

I still have troubles :
System Editor
general tab : portfolio bias MULTIPLE; NO limit number to simultaneous position
buy order : C > ref(c,-1)
the system enters in different days, i don't know why, but i need that all positions enter the same day.

I tried to use entry size in buy order too, writing 2, but then in sell order it is impossible to write entry size 1 when x, entry size 2 when y.

Sorry but there is no way to have the system tester enter several buys on the same bar.
