Problem with my ExitShort

[pman777]

hello, I am having an issue with my strategy that executes on every tick (CalculateOnBarClose=false) on a 100 tic chart.

I execute my trade for 3 contracts with the following command EnterLong(tradeContracts, "") where tradeContracts is set to "3". This command works fine.

I then sell my first contract with the command ExitShort(contractExit) with contractExit set to "1". This executes when I reach 5 tics. This command also works fine. I then sell my second contract with the same command ExitShort(contractExit) with contractExit set to "1". This executes when I reach 10 tics. This command is ignored!

The second contract executes the same exit code as the first, so I know the code is syntactically correct since it worked for the first contract.

Both of these exit commands occur in the same bar.

Any insight or advice is greatly appreciated.

Hello,

What message comes up in the output window when this occurs? (tools -> output window)

Have you verified the second exit is being called with a Print() ?

While this may not apply to this situation please see the section Internal Order Handling Rules that Reduce Unwanted Positions
for more information on why this might have been ignored: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...d_approach.htm

Thank you Lance. I tried several things and finally got it to work. Seems I needed to label my exits since they occur within the same bar. Once I did that, it worked like a charm. Hope this helps someone else with same issue.
