Entering on one condition Exiting on another

[RickStevenson1]

Hello,
I'm having an issue with entering with one indicator and exiting with another. Once an order has been placed the exiting condition will be ignored if the opposing entry conditions are met. Here is the code:
protectedoverridevoid OnBarUpdate()
{
if (RValueCharts(5).VClose[0] >= 3.8)
{
EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "RunnerLong");
}
if (CrossAbove(DM(14).DiPlus, DM(14).DiMinus, 1))
{
ExitLong("", "RunnerLong");
}

if (RValueCharts(5).VClose[0] <= -3.8)
{
EnterShort(DefaultQuantity, "RunnerShort");
}
if (CrossBelow(DM(14).DiMinus, DM(14).DiPlus, 1))
{
ExitShort("", "RunnerShort");
}

I have not specified a "reverse" when the opposing entry conditions are met, yet that is happening. Any suggestions?

Hello RickStevenson,

Entries will reverse a position.

What you can do is add a market position check to your entries - only enter when flat.

 
if (RValueCharts(5).VClose[0] >= 3.8 && Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat)
{
EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "RunnerLong");
}
 
if (RValueCharts(5).VClose[0] <= -3.8 && Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat)
{
EnterShort(DefaultQuantity, "RunnerShort");
}

Thank you Ryan. I did as you suggested, but the exit condition is still being ignored to a degree. I have tagged my exit's to the entries with "Runner". When the trades are exiting they're not on the right bar and they're titled "Sell" and "Buy to Cover". Somehow the exiting conditions are not being identified correctly.

Make sure you've compiled any changes (Right Click > Compile) and reaply any instances of the strategy. If you're still having trouble, let us know exactly where you're looking. A screenshot will be helpful.

To send a screenshot press Alt + PRINT SCREEN to take a screen shot of the selected window. Then go to Start--> Accessories--> Paint, and press CRTL + V to paste the image. Lastly, save as a jpeg file and post the attachement to this thread.

I figured it out. Once I added what you suggested I realized that I also had my wire crossed on the Exit conditions. Good now. Thanks for the help.
