If you set DAY, the orders created by buylimit, buystop, selllimit, sellstop commands will be cancelled at the end of day. Never set GTD, the buylimit, buystop, selllimit, sellstop commands will not work for GTD.

Only One Position

Since version 2.02, you can have a risk management feature that only one position can be created

• Only One Position : The default is False. If you set it to True, only one position can be creatd by the Strategy. That is the whole system can have maximum one position. For example, the Strategy creats a EURUSD long position, a new alert comes trying to create a AUDUSD position, but this new alert will be ignored. After the position is closed, the next alert can create a new position.
• Only One Position Per Symbol : The default is False. If you set it to True, only one position for a symbol can be creatd by the Strategy. That is, evey symbol can have maximum one position. For example, the Strategy creates a EURUSD long position, a new alert comes trying to create a AUDUSD position,the AUDUSD position will be created. Another new alert comes trying to create another EURUSD psotion, this alert will be ignored because there is already a EURUSD position. Only after the existing EURUSD position is closed, a new EURUSD position can be created.

If you set both "Only One Position" and "Only One Position Per Symbol" to True, it has the same effect as if you only set "Only One Position" to True.
