Exit code disables all exit

[sandeshrai]

I am using the following code to exit my trade:

// Using the end of bar exit
if(this.iUseEOBExit)
{
if(

// After 5 bars have passed since entry, exit the position
BarsSinceEntry() >= 5

)
{
if(this.iQuantity1 != 0 && tVars.iOrder[1] == null)
tVars.iOrder[1] = ExitShort("eob", string.Empty);

return;
}
}

However, when I back test, not only does the above exit not work, it appears to disable all other exit modes as well. I get one single trade which enters at the start of the back test period and ends at the end of the back test period.

I have other exit modes which is based on profit target, loss target and time based targets. All of these get disabled.

sandeshrai,

Are there any messages in log tab when you run the strategy?

Is it performing according to the logic you set? For example, after 5 bars since the first entry you set to return; This means it will exit OnBarUpdate() routine and not process any logic further down.

if (BarsSinceEntry() >= 5)
{ 
[COLOR="Red"][B]return;[/B][/COLOR]
}

Hello Ryan,

Here is the message I am getting in the Log "Error on calling 'OnBarUpdate' method for strategy 'sSandeshV3B/93e8de2f6b634adcaa208befa8d479d9': You must use the overload that has a 'BarsInProgress' parameter when calling the BarsSinceEntry() method in the context of a multi-time frame and instrument strategy."

Thanks for the reply. The code you posted matches your description of the strategy behavior. You should correct the issue reported in log tab, and then look into why you are returning out 5 bars after the first entry. Here's where you can see supported overloads for BarsSinceEntry()
