From the manual Code: Limit the number of open positions // max. 3 open long positions per asset/algo if(my_long_condition == true) { exitShort(); // no hedging - close all short positions if(NumOpenLong < 3) enterlong(); } Or just use reverseLong/reverseShort so e.g. instead of enterLong() use reverseLong(x) where x is the maximum number if open positions allowed.

I use manual almost every day and still many good ideas not discovered there for me:) Also it seems that NumOpenLong and NumOpenShort works well to limit number of trades, but NumOpenTotal doesn't and that's why I went wrong way..
