StopLoss vs (ExitLongStop or ExitShortStop)

[bobcat70]

I have been trying to get either StopLoss or (ExitLongStop/ExitShortStop) to fire after a previous trade was stopped out. Once that trade is stopped out, I get the following error on the next EnterLongStop or EnterShortStop:

**NT** A Buy order placed at '6/1/2010 7:21:34 AM' has been ignored since the stop price is less than or equal to the close price of the current bar. This is an invalid order and subsequent orders may also be ignored. Please fix your strategy.

I have tried setting a SetStopLoss to 3000 ticks after the stop loss triggered and I'm in a flat market position. I just don't understand if I'm flat, why won't the order go through? I shouldn't have a stop order in place since the ExitLongStop or ExitShortStop should have closed out.

Any ideas?

Solved

OK, think I figured it out. It actually was correct - had nothing to do with the Stop I was trying to set - I had two instruments and it was firing on the second instrument (which is okay). Problem was, by the time I calculated the entryprice and when the order was placed, the price had moved by 3 ticks.

So, added a fix in the event CreateLongTrade and CreateShortTrade (first 2 lines):
