Hello, I am implementing a system which can be short/long on the same symbol from one bar to another, meaning that it can change from short to long with a single trade.
Let's say I am long 100 shares on msft, and then want to: a) to be short 50 on the next bar, i.e.sell 150 or b)be still long 25, i.e. sell 75. c)be long 130,ie.e buy 30. In case a) I dont think scaletrade would work, unless it accepts negative positions. In case b,c) I can enter a scale order, but I want to keep trades separate, so I prefer a "manual" sell order. Would in a,b,c) the open position object IsLong property be handle automatically, or I have to modify "manually" appropriately(in case a) it would have to switch )? A related question is: does the separate long/short ranking apply to rotational trading? Thanks a lot Ly
