My Exit Order is not getting filled.

[sudharsanv]

Hello,
I am using the Sim101 Simulation acct to backtest my Custom strategy.
// I am entering based on this code. AND THIS WORKS!
EnterLong("CrossAboveMACD");

// I am setting my exit target based on this Code. THIS NEVER GETS TRIGGERED. ANY THING WRONG?
ExitLongLimit(GetCurrentAsk() + 1.00, "CrossAboveMACD");

I see the price crossing my original GetCurrentAsk() + 1.00 in subsequent bar closes but my exit order never gets triggered.
I am running this once an hour.
Please help.

Hello sudha,

If you're checking the price on subsequent bars and it's not triggering, maybe you need ExitOnClose set to false?

My Exit Order is not getting filled.

Ryan,
In my backtesting UI Screen, I do have "ExitOnClose" set to "false". The ExitLongLimit() order should stay for the entire session, isn't it?. I have defined my Session begin and Session end as 12am.

Hi Sudha,

ExitOnClose shouldn't be preventing your order from triggering here unless it's going across sessions and set to true.

You might need to set liveUntilCanceled to true. Otherwise it will cancel the order if not filled on the bar it's submitted on. This requires a different overload for the ExitLongLimit()

ExitLongLimit(int barsInProgressIndex, bool liveUntilCancelled, int quantity,double limitPrice,string signalName,string fromEntrySignal)


If this isn't the case you may need to look at the condition for exit to be sure it's evaluating true.
