    If I used the first code, are there any circumstances in which the exit on saturday is overridden?

    Kay Wai, either way would work, but you might want to use Positions[0].MarketPosition to be sure you're checking the position of your primary series. Since you have the same instrument for both series, it probably won't be a problem, but if you decide to move to multi-instrument strategies, you must use Positions[x].MarketPosition instead of just Position.MarketPosition.
