Two strategies, same symbol

[staycool3_a]

Hi, i'm running two strategies that are inverse of one another. It's essentially a cross. Instead of combing the cross above/below in one strategy, I've chosen to make two strategies

strategy1=crossabove=long
strategy2=crossbelow=short
stoploss= par (at the point where the cross occurs)

problem i am seeing is that for some reason why my long position ends, my short position is not being entered. any idea what could be causing this? could this be because strategy1 is "pending" the order to exit, and since this is happening in the same account (SIM) the order to "buy/sell" from the inverse strategy is not shot out? basically in my strategy it is possible to be long and short at the same time in the same symbol. how can i separate my strategies so my positions are not flashed to the other strategy/same account settings

any suggestions how I can make this work?

Hello calhawk01,

Thank you for your post.

There are several factors to consider here as to why the short position is not entered. Are the settings the same for the strategies?
Is the short strategy Yellow on the Strategies tab of the NinjaTrader Control Center?
Is the CrossBelow condition true at the time the Long position is to be closed an the short position entered?

I look forward to your response.

I look forward to your response.

logic and settings for both strategies are perfectly negatively correlated

there are some symbols for both long and short strategies that are yellow. it says your position in this symbol is not sync with your account

crossbelow condition is not true at the same time the long position is to be closed. basically the logic for ''entering'' the position are the same both opposite, but the exits are based on stops. therefore, you can be in a long position, and the trigger for short can occur, and i would like for the system to go short as well as stay long

That is to be expected. If you are long in an instrument, and a sell order is issued, you will become flat.

Strategies cannot communicate directly with each other, so you cannot reliably reverse positions by using 2 separate strategies.
