Hi All

Complete newbie to Metastock here so forgive me if i ask dumb questions.

How can you program OCO orders - I am back testing systems and my orders keep repeating them selves - i just want the order to enter once when criteria are met and thats it. No more orders until the stops hit.

I have sorted my formula - i think, well it seems to be working but repeats itself every time the criteria is matched.

Really appreciate some help on this one and so glad i found this community.

Regards

Doug

Hi Doug,

Welcome to the community :)

You should post your formula so that we can help you.

Highlight the system and choose edit.

On the general tab look for an option that says portfolio bias.
Change it from Multipe to Single.

This will force the system tester to take one position at a time.

Hope it helps.

After 3 days of toiling to sort it - i posted on here and then thought i'll give it one more go and hey presto - i've sorted it.

You must be magic - thank you for your help !
