ExitOnClose = true kills Strategy?

[Lost Trader]

I had ExitOnClose = true in the Initialize() method as I do not want to hold positions overnight. I noticed that when a position was closed by ExitOnClose, the strategy failed to continue running at the next FirstTickOfSession -- I would certainly expect the strategy to start executing orders again in the new session.

Manually stopping & starting the bot is unreasonable. How can I programmatically kick it back into gear when the next session begins?

Hi LostTrader,

This is not how ExitOnClose works so something else is going on. Try backtesting SampleMaCrossOver with this setting. You'll see it close at end of sessions but continue to place trades.

OK, I have just seen the same behaviour with the StopLoss - After the system closed the position, no more entries are taken.

The code is running. What else can prevent orders without telling me anything in the output window?

When my code closes a position, no problem. Next entry is taken.

OK found a variable that should have been removed -- that seems to have fixed it !
