Hi,
Sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find an answer.
Basically I would like to both scale in and out.
This is just an example.
If RSI < 20, buy 1 position (near/at close of bar)
If RSI < 10, buy 2 positions (near/at close of bar)
If RSI < 5, buy 5 positions (near/at close of bar)
If RSI > 80, sell 1 position (near/at close of bar)
If RSI > 90, sell 2 position (near/at close of bar)
If RSI > 95, sell 5 position (near/at close of bar)
Well you get the idea. Is this possible in Building blocks?
I have the Powerpack and Candlesticks extension currently.
Cheers.

Yes, let's keep it simple for now and say we'll buy the next bar at market open which is WL's standard. We can change it later to buy at close but it requires a few things in Power Pack.
You can use any number of entries, here I just implement the first 3 positions. Follow the same pattern for the remaining 3 positions. You can use one Exit Block to pair with all of the Entry Blocks directly above it, so I only needed the one Exit Block to pair with Entries #2 and #3.

Can anyone advise how to create the rules for position sizing that OP described? I'd like to require a set number of positions/contracts are sold at each exit condition for scaling out. Right now, my strategy is selling just 1 position at a time. I have tried the Pyramiding position sizer, but then I get 0 trades. Similar to OP, I do not wish to scale out a set percentage (e.g 50%) less each time, but I have set numbers of contracts (sell 2, sell 1, sell 1).
For my strategy, I don't scale in; just scale out. Is it necessary to recreate the same entry block 3 times to pair with each exit condition, or can you use the same entry with 3 different exit blocks and require the strategy to scale at each exit?
