Exiting entire position

[edgeliner]

If my strategy calls for numerous "buys" and then calls for closing the entire position because of a certain indicator event, how can you program it to know how many lots you have, and to close all of them at once?

ExitLong("", "Exit Long on 30 Cross Above 5")

only exits the default quantity.

No, if you do not specify a quantity it will exit your whole position to bring you to a flat position. The code you specified uses the ExitLong(string signalName, string fromEntrySignal) syntax. This means you will only be exiting whatever entry position you had labeled "Exit Long on 30 Cross Above 5".
