Question About ExitLong()/Short()

[otislauwaert]

Hello,

Let's say I am running 2 strategies on the same market and it happens to be that one has an active Long and the other has an active Short, meaning that in theory the account position on that market is Flat... Will the ExitLong() still be able to find the Long order when using the "fromEntrySignal" specification?
Since the Help Guide for ExitLong() states "This method is ignored if a long position does not exist"

Many thanks in advance for any replies!

Hello otislauwaert,

Thanks for your post.

The strategy will maintain its virtual position and will issue an ExitLong() because the signal continues in the strategy.

You can certainly test this out with the SIM101 account.
