Reversing position

[malcolm]

I am having a problem reversing my position when I have a stop loss order in place. It seems that a sell order is ignored while I have a stop loss for my long position in place, regardless of EntriesPerDirection.

I am baffled, though it would seem a fairly straight forward objective. Any ideas much appreciated.

Malcolm, correct you run into the Internal Order Handling Rules, when not using a Market Order to reverse in this situation -

Hi Bertrand, does that mean I can't do this? That would suggest that I can't have a strategy that reverses and has stops or targets in place? Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,
Malcolm

No, to workaround this, you could for example place the stop, cancelOrder it, then wait for confirmation of the orderstate change and then issue the order to reverse.
