Problem with Exit

[Cowpux]

I have the following problem with my exit script.

if(Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long)
{
if (CrossBelow(Close,DayOpen, 1))
ExitLong();

double DStop = Position.AvgPrice-stop;
double DTarget=Position.AvgPrice+target;
PrintWithTimeStamp("Entered Long. DayOpen is:"+DayOpen.ToString()+"EntryPrice :"+Position.AvgPrice+" ProfitTarget :"+DTarget.ToString()+ " Stop :"+DStop.ToString());
//SetStopLoss("LE",CalculationMode.Price,Position.Av gPrice-DStop,false);
//SetProfitTarget("LE",CalculationMode.Price,Positio n.AvgPrice+DTarget);
ExitLongStop(DStop,"LStop");
ExitLongLimit(DTarget,"LTarget");
}

Here is the print log output for the trade in question:
9/29/2014 1:40:00 PM Entered Long. DayOpen is:1964EntryPrice :1964.75 ProfitTarget :1965.75 Stop :1963.25

9/29/2014 1:50:00 PM Entered Long. DayOpen is:1964EntryPrice :1964.75 ProfitTarget :1965.75 Stop :1963.25

The trade exits on the close and the market traded much higher than my entryprice.

Here is a copy from the analyzer :

What is wrong with my logic?

You have used he wrong syntax.

ExitLongStop(DStop,"LStop");//exit the position opened by the [I][B][COLOR="Red"]entrySignal [/COLOR][/B][/I]called "LStop"
ExitLongLimit(DTarget,"LTarget"); //exit the position opened by the [COLOR="red"][I][B]entrySignal [/B][/I][/COLOR]called "LTarget"

The names you have used give me the impression that those must be exitSignal names.

Hello Cowpux,

Thank you for your post.

Koganam is correct, you must use the entrySignalName string. Are you using an entrySignalName for your Enter() method? Can you provide the full syntax used for your Enter() method?

[Cowpux]

Thanks to both of you. I fixed it. I need to look at the function definitions a bit closer!
