How to stop one strategy while another is in a running order

[daniel.herrera]

I have a problem.

When the conditions for a strategy are fulfilled and an order is opened I do not want it to run again if the conditions are given until the open order ends.

My problem is that the strategy opens an order and if they re-enforce the conditions continues to open orders and that makes the risk management penalize me.

I do not know if by writing to an external file of some variable and that while that variable has a value the strategy can not open a new order. I do not know how to write the code for it.

Thank you for your help.

Check my End of Turn_Live Execution Strategy Template.lua

Here I use LastEntry variable.

Ultimate solution is always.
public method host:execute("stop");
Brief
Stops the strategy which executed the command

To give an answer, I would have to know your complete trading idea.

I believe that the evaluation should start even before we get the first simulation results. I mean, we need to make sure that the logic behind the strategy is sound and that it has a good chance of holding up in the future. Then we also need to make sure our historical data is complete and clean. You know, the results won’t matter if we start with shaky logic and bad data. After these initial steps, and still before we even start coding our strategy, we need to focus on real-time data and execution details. Here we need to make sure that it is possible to get the data we need, when we need it, and that it is possible to reasonably execute the trades as soon as we get our signals.
