exitling()?

[mktrend]

what is the difference between the two statements below as far as the ""are concerned? Why does on e have one and the other 2 of them?

enterlong("")

exitlong("" "")

is the exitlong reversing?

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

ExitLong() exits the long position. It does not do reversing. There are two "" because one of them is for the signal name of the entry you are trying to exit and the other is for the signal name you want to give the ExitLong() order.

thanks for the quick response.
OK, as in
ExitLong(string signalName, string fromEntrySignal)
but why the following code produces 1 long and 2 shorts on the exit?

{
            // Condition set 1
            if (CrossAbove(A(), a, 1))
            {
                EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "");
            }

            // Condition set 2
            if (A()[0] < b)
            {
                ExitLong("", "");
            }

            // Condition set 3
            if (A()[0] < b)
            {
                EnterShort(DefaultQuantity, "");
            }

            // Condition set 4
            if (A()[0] > a)
            {
                ExitShort("", "");
            }
        }

If you are trying to enter short you do not need to call ExitLong(). EnterShort() will automatically close your long position first and reverse you into a short position.

thanks, that solves the problem.
