    where to manage reverse entries in x-over strategy?

    Guys,

    Coding a simple crossover strategy. I want to enter when I cross a moving average and exit and go the opposite way when I cross it in the other direction.

    When in a trade, I must exit it and then enter an order to go the opposite way. Is is better for that re-entry order to be placed in the OnExecution() or OnBarUpdate() as I have it coded below? I'm concerned the exit is fully executed before the entry. I presume these are not OCO orders, or am I wrong about that?

    if (CrossAbove(longSeries, ADX(ADX_Per).ADXPlot, 1) )
    {
    if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Short ) {
    exitOrder = ExitShort(Position.Quantity, "exitShortOnLongX", "enterShortOnADX");
    }

    entryOrder = EnterLongLimit(simLotsTraded, GetCurrentBid(), "enterLongOnADX");
    }
    // Condition to short
    if (CrossBelow(shortSeries, ADX(ADX_Per).ADXPlot, 1))
    {
    if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long){
    exitOrder = ExitLong(Postition.Quantity, "exitLongOnShortX", "enterLongOnADX");
    }
    entryOrder = EnterShortLimit(simLotsTraded, GetCurrentAsk(), "enterShortOnADX");
    }

    crmcwi, correct those are not OCO orders by nature, you can check the order state in the OnOrderUpdate() before issueing other orders then - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...V6/IOrder.html
