      I'm trying to only issue one limit buy if condition x, z is met. And if said limit buy executes I want to issue a sell limit.

          def __init__(self):
        self.dataclose = self.datas[0].close
        self.ind = AmaBands(plot=True, subplot=False)
        self.step = False
        self.order = None
        self.o = list()

    def next(self):
        self.log('Close %0.2f, Mean %0.2f, Buy1 %0.2f, Sell1 %0.2f, Buy2 %0.2f, Sell2 %0.2f, Stop %0.2f'
                 % (self.dataclose[0], self.ind[0], self.ind.bot[0],
                    self.ind.top[0], self.ind.bot2[0], self.ind.top2[0],
                    self.ind.bot5[0]))

        orders = self.broker.get_orders_open()

        if self.order:
            return

        mean = self.ind[0]  # Current mean(moving average) value

        size1 = cerebro.broker.get_cash() * 0.035 / self.data
        size2 = size1 * 2
        size3 = size2 * 2
        size4 = size3 * 2

        pos = self.position.size

        stop = self.ind.bot5[0]
        close = self.dataclose[0]  # Current close

        # Buy levels
        buy1 = self.ind.bot[0]
        buy2 = self.ind.bot2[0]
        buy3 = self.ind.bot3[0]
        buy4 = self.ind.bot4[0]

        # Sell levels
        sell1 = self.ind.top[0]
        sell2 = self.ind.top2[0]
        sell3 = self.ind.top3[0]
        sell4 = self.ind.top4[0]

        """Initializing algorithm..."""
        if not self.position:
            if close < mean:
                self.buy(price=buy1, size=size1, exectype=bt.Order.Limit)
                self.log('Init... %.2f' % close)
                if pos > 0:
                    self.sell(price=sell1, size=-size1, exectype=bt.Order.Limit)
                    self.log('Buy order executed.-. creating sell order %.2f' % close)

      Here is my output:

      Looks like I'm issuing multiple orders when I only want to issue one order per "step" What am I doing wrong? I've been stuck on this part of the project for a week now.. I've browsed trough both the docs + forums for hours and I'm sure it's a simple solution but I can't find it.

        @cept0r said in Issuing multiple orders, how do I only issue one order at a time?:

        if self.order

        Where self.order got updated?

        @cept0r said in Issuing multiple orders, how do I only issue one order at a time?:

        if not self.position:

        The position will be created/updated upon order execution. However, the execution may or may not happen depending on various factors (like not enough available cache, or incorrect order size, etc ) . Probably, it is better to test for the existence of the order instead.

          aha so I forgot to add a self.order = self.buy/self.sell, thank you.

            Now I have the opposite issue running this code @vladisld

                    """Initializing algorithm..."""
        if not self.position and close < mean:
            self.long = self.buy(price=buy1, size=size1, exectype=bt.Order.Limit)
            self.log('Buying step 1... %.2f' % close)
        elif self.position and close > mean:
            self.short = self.sell(price=sell1, size=-pos, exectype=bt.Order.Limit)
            self.log('Exiting position... %.2f' % close)

Right here it should issue one sell order:
2020-06-08, Close 9740.72, Mean 9750.44, Buy1 9733.86, Sell1 9767.01, Buy2 9707.54, Sell2 9793.34, Stop 9583.57

2020-06-08, Close 9750.83, Mean 9750.37, Buy1 9733.80, Sell1 9766.95, Buy2 9707.47, Sell2 9793.27, Stop 9583.57

            So now instead of issuing multiple orders for each step it only issues one buy but I can't get it to sell.

            Rest of my code:

                def __init__(self):
        self.dataclose = self.datas[0].close
        self.ind = AmaBands(plot=True, subplot=False)
        self.step = False
        self.order = None
        self.long = None
        self.short = None
        self.o = list()

    def next(self):
        self.log('Close %0.2f, Mean %0.2f, Buy1 %0.2f, Sell1 %0.2f, Buy2 %0.2f, Sell2 %0.2f, Stop %0.2f'
                 % (self.dataclose[0], self.ind[0], self.ind.bot[0],
                    self.ind.top[0], self.ind.bot2[0], self.ind.top2[0],

                Edited the code abit and added some more logging functions so I can inspect more..
                Now it looks like my code is not recognizing that I'm either not in a position or that after my buy order is executed it's still saying that I have a buy order pending when I don't..;
                Input;

                    def __init__(self):
        self.dataclose = self.datas[0].close
        self.ind = AmaBands(plot=True, subplot=False)
        self.long = None
        self.short = None

    def next(self):
        self.log('Close %0.2f, Mean %0.2f, Buy1 %0.2f, Sell1 %0.2f, Buy2 %0.2f, Sell2 %0.2f, Stop %0.2f'
                 % (self.dataclose[0], self.ind[0], self.ind.bot[0],
                    self.ind.top[0], self.ind.bot2[0], self.ind.top2[0],
                    self.ind.bot5[0]))

        if self.long:
            self.log('Buy order is pending... %.2f' % self.dataclose[0])
            return

        if self.short:
            self.log('Sell order is pending... %.2f' % self.dataclose[0])

        size3 = size2 * 2
        size4 = size3 * 2

        pos = self.position.size

        stop = self.ind.bot5[0]
        close = self.dataclose[0]  # Current close

        sell2 = self.ind.top2[0]
        sell3 = self.ind.top3[0]
        sell4 = self.ind.top4[0]

        """Initializing algorithm..."""
        if pos == 0:
            if close < mean:
                self.long = self.buy(price=buy1, size=1, exectype=bt.Order.Limit)
                self.log('Close below mean buying step 1... %.2f' % close)

            if pos > 0:
                if close > mean:
                    self.short = self.sell(price=sell1, size=-1, exectype=bt.Order.Limit)
                    self.log('Closing long... %.2f' % close)

                Notes: I changed the size to use static sizing to see if that could be the problem but the output still remains the same.

                I've tried indenting it every possible way and tried several different ways to get it to sell but I'm stuck.
                Output:

                It's still saying I have a buy order pending which is not correct because my buy order executed earlier so I'm wondering what I did to cause this..
                And for some reason my code does not recognize that I'm in a position because it had plenty of opportunities to create sell orders and execute them and that was one of my conditions to issue a sell.

                  All right, I've tried this:

                          """Initializing algorithm..."""
        if pos == 0:
            if close < mean:
                self.long = self.buy(price=buy1, size=1, exectype=bt.Order.Limit)
                self.log('Close below mean buying step 1... %.2f' % close)
            elif close >= sell1:
                self.long = self.close()
                self.log('Closing long... %.2f' % close)

                  Still won't execute a sell..

                  Also tried this:

                          """Initializing algorithm..."""
        if pos == 0:
            if close < mean:
                self.long = self.buy(price=buy1, size=1, exectype=bt.Order.Limit)
                self.log('Close below mean buying step 1... %.2f' % close)
                if close >= sell1:
                    self.close(self.long)
                    self.log('Closing long... %.2f' % close)

                  Same output..
                  Trying:

                          """Initializing algorithm..."""
        if pos == 0:
            if close < mean:
                self.long = self.buy(price=buy1, size=1, exectype=bt.Order.Limit)
                self.log('Close below mean buying step 1... %.2f' % close)
        else:
            if close >= sell1:
                self.close(self.long)
                self.log('Closing long... %.2f' % close)

                  Still the same output...

                  I will make it work!
                  There are only so many combinations..
                  And eventually I got to figure it out!

                    In the notify_order() you need to set self.long = None as soon as your buying order is executed. Cause self.long will always be equal to the latest buy order you issued.

                      Try getting rid of self.long and then just check for open orders using self.order.

                        Also I would put pending order check into the order issuing conditions to have everything in the same place:

                                if pos == 0:
            if close < mean:
                self.long = self.buy(price=buy1, size=1, exectype=bt.Order.Limit)
                self.log('Close below mean buying step 1... %.2f' % close)

            if pos > 0 and not self.long:
                if close > mean:
                    self.short = self.sell(price=sell1, size=-1, exectype=bt.Order.Limit)
                    self.log('Closing long... %.2f' % close)

                                  if pos == 0:
            if close < mean:
                self.buy(price=buy1, size=1, exectype=bt.Order.Limit)
                self.log('Close below mean buying step 1... %.2f' % close)
        if close >= sell1 and pos > 0:
            self.close()
            self.log('Closing long... %.2f' % close)

                          When I removed "self.long =" I managed to get some sells executed running this code, looks like I'm getting some more possible solutions.
                          Trying them now..

                            Added "self.long = None" into my notify_order() and changed my next() to what you suggested

                            Only issues one buy then it stops, now I'm trying:

                                    if pos == 0:
            if close < mean:
                self.long = self.buy(price=buy1, size=1, exectype=bt.Order.Limit)
                self.log('Close below mean buying step 1... %.2f' % close)

            if pos > 0 and self.long:
                if close > mean:
                    self.short = self.sell(price=sell1, size=-1, exectype=bt.Order.Limit)
                    self.log('Closing long... %.2f' % close)

                            If position size greater than zero and self.long instead of not self.long..
                            New output:

                            Which is the same output as before... now I'm back to square 0.
                            Well thanks anyways I'll keep at it.
                            If this was easy it would not be worthwhile.

                              Trying this now.. removing both self.long and self.short and structuring it this way.

                                      if pos == 0:
            if close < mean:
                self.buy(price=buy1, size=1, exectype=bt.Order.Limit)
                self.log('Close below mean buying step 1... %.2f' % close)

            if pos > 0 and self.long:
                if close > mean:
                    self.sell(price=sell1, size=-1, exectype=bt.Order.Limit)
                    self.log('Closing long... %.2f' % close)

                              This drained all my available cash at broker.. so going back to my previous solution and I'll work from there.

                              Output:

                                @cept0r said in Issuing multiple orders, how do I only issue one order at a time?:

                                Only issues one buy then it stops, now I'm trying

                                Why do you expect more buying orders to happen? Price history is ended.

                                Since you don't print the bar times I go with the output line numbers. Based on your outputs - the order is issued on the line 5 or 6, buy limit at 9736.30. This order was executed at the very end of your output block - probably at the at time the prices went lower than 9736.30.

                                  Oh my bad, I'm not expecting any more buy orders to happen. I think I managed to solve it now and I understand what I'm doing wrong.
                                  Thank you @ab_trader and @run-out ! I'll keep at it

                                    I'm trying to get this " not self.long / self.short " condition to execute as I need a third condition in my strategy in order for it to work properly. But When I run this:

                                            if pos == 0:
            if close < mean:
                self.long = self.buy(price=buy1, size=1, exectype=bt.Order.Limit)
                self.log('Close below mean buying step 1... %.2f' % close)
                if not self.long and pos > 0:
                    self.sell(price=sell1, size=-pos, exectype=bt.Order.Limit)
                    self.log('Buy order 1 hit creating sell order... %.2f' % close)

                                    Or

                                            if pos == 0:
            if close < mean:
                self.long = self.buy(price=buy1, size=1, exectype=bt.Order.Limit)
                self.log('Close below mean buying step 1... %.2f' % close)

            if pos > 0 and not self.long:
                if close > mean:
                    self.short = self.sell(price=sell1, size=-1, exectype=bt.Order.Limit)
                    self.log('Closing long... %.2f' % close)

                                    It only executes the buy but it does not recognize the "not self.long" condition here is the output: (same for both)

                                    At the end closing price reaches sell1 so it should execute but it won't even create a sell order. So I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong?

                                      On another note:

                                              if pos == 0:
            if close < mean:
                self.long = self.buy(price=buy1, size=1, exectype=bt.Order.Limit)
                self.log('Close below mean buying step 1... %.2f' % close)

        if pos > 0:
            if close > mean:
                self.short = self.sell(price=sell1, size=-1, exectype=bt.Order.Limit)
                self.log('Closing long... %.2f' % close)

                                      This works.

                                              if pos == 0:
            if close < mean:
                self.long = self.buy(price=buy1, size=1, exectype=bt.Order.Limit)
                self.log('Close below mean buying step 1... %.2f' % close)

            if pos > 0:
                if close > mean:
                    self.short = self.sell(price=sell1, size=-1, exectype=bt.Order.Limit)
                    self.log('Closing long... %.2f' % close)

                                      This does not.
                                      So I can't indent and the extra conditions won't matter since it won't work indented so I'm trying:

                                              orders = self.broker.get_orders_open()
        orders = list(orders)

                                      Then I'll do if orders == 1 and pos < size2 etc..

                                      1 Reply Last reply Reply Quote 0

                                        That did not take either.. hmm well if I use static sizes that could work temporarily if only just to see if I can manage to finish my trade logic today.

                                          @cept0r said in Issuing multiple orders, how do I only issue one order at a time?:

                                          So I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong?

                                          Evidently your script can work only for pos == 0 case. As soon as position open (and we can see this in the logs) i.e. pos != 0, your second condition if pos > 0 and not self.long: doesn't work anymore.
