Possible to run 2 strategy.entry long orders simultaneously?

In tradingview Pine Script, I find that if I have two long orders in a strategy, it executes the 2nd strategy.entry long order only after the first one ends. Is it possible to have the 2nd long order run while the 1st long order is still open? How?

Please advice.

Hi @vijaynair

I think you have to update the pyramiding value from your strategy() function
https://www.tradingview.com/pine-script-reference/v4/#fun_strategy

This is the strategy(...) function called at the very top of your script

The documentation says this

pyramiding (const integer): The maximum number of entries allowed in the same direction. If the value is 0, only one entry order in the same direction can be opened, and additional entry orders are rejected. The default value is 0.

Setting a pyramiding greater to 1 allows your strategy to take multiple trades at once

I tried pyramiding. It does not do what I want. Let me explain

Consider there are 2 different strategy.entry orders - BUY1 and BUY2.
With pyramiding set to 1, it executes BUY2 only after the BUY1 order is closed, not while the latter is still open.

Test scrip given below

//@version=4

strategy(title=Double Strategy Order Check, overlay=true, pyramiding=1)

startDate = input(title=Start Date, type=input.integer, defval=1, minval=1, maxval=31)
startMonth = input(title=Start Month, type=input.integer, defval=1, minval=1, maxval=12)
startYear = input(title=Start Year, type=input.integer, defval=2010, minval=1800, maxval=2100)

inDateRange = (time >= timestamp(syminfo.timezone, startYear, startMonth, startDate, 0, 0))

rsi14 = rsi(close, 14)
sma100 = sma(close, 100)
sma200 = sma(close, 200)

bought = strategy.position_size[0] > strategy.position_size[1]
since_entry = barssince(bought)

firstorder = close > sma100
secondorder = close > sma200

firstexit = rsi14 < 30
secondexit = rsi14 > 70

strategy.entry(id = BUY1, long = true, when = firstorder)
strategy.entry(id = BUY2, long = true, when = secondorder)

strategy.close(id = BUY1, when = firstexit)
strategy.close(id = BUY2, when = secondexit)

You can set pyramiding to 2
