Reverse order not working

[jrs]

I'm working a very simple strategy that should always keep me in the market. Problem is when I tell it to reverse, it just closes the position out and does not enter an order in the other direction. I had thought from the documentation that if I was Long and told it to go short, it would close out the Long, then get into a Short postion of the same amount... Any ideas/suggestions would be much appreciated.

Basically the code is:

if(x>y)
{
EnterLong(25,000, "L1") ;
} else {
EnterShort(25,000,"S1") ;
}

I'm using IB as a broker and below is a trace of the last order (was Long):

Your understanding of the Enter() methods is correct, they would reverse your current open position automatically - have you synched up the account position with the strategy position as you took it live?

After checking my current Strategy position, it says " - " which seems to agree with what you are saying. I closed out the position with the broker, then reentered it via the DOM. My problem could have been that when I tried to manually sync the postion (previously), I did it via the broker interface NOT with NT.
I'll watch this and see what happens, hopefully, this will do it. Thanks!
