multiple positions

Can an EA run two open positions, i.e to straddle a price level, against eachother and if so how do I do that?

Many thanks,

Nigel.

Placing pending orders in both directions is common and easy to do. I think what you are asking is about trade management of two opposite positions and that is not common but not hard. When using OrderSelect, be sure to call OrderType() and keep track of the order type - OP_SELL or OP_BUY and make changes and close the orders in the normal way. Can't think of any code you could use as an example, but it shouldn't be much trouble.

My only conern would be whether your broker allows for this and will continue to allow in the future, but thats a different discussion.

OK thanks.
