making progress, but still need help

[paco99]

I've been troubleshooting this program for 2 weeks now. I have it narrowed down quite a bit and have new information.

Basically, my strategy always enters a position, and it never exits using my ExitLongStop or ExitShortStop commands. It only reverses positions when a EnterShortStop is triggered. I just realized this after major debugging and printing.

Here is the portion of my code with this logic. I'm assuming there is some fundamental thing that I'm missing. I hope someone can help.

if ( movAvgVal[0] > movAvgVal[1] )
{
EnterLongStop(upBand, "Long Buy");
}

else if ( movAvgVal[0] < movAvgVal[1])
{
EnterShortStop(dnBand, "Short Buy");
}


if ((Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long))
{
ExitLongStop(movAvgVal2[0], "Long Exit");
}


else if ((Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Short))
{
ExitShortStop(movAvgVal2[0], "Buy to Cover");
}
}


The code will not run my ExitLongStop or ExitShortStop commands. If I change them to ExitLong() and ExitShort(), it will execute them, but it messes up the logic and testing. I need them to be stops.

Please help, I'm been at this non stop for 2 weeks.

ExitLongStop(double stopPrice, string fromEntrySignal)

Your code: ExitLongStop(movAvgVal2[0], "Long Exit");

Where do you have an entry signal "Long Exit"?

NinjaTrader Dierk,

You are a genius! Thanks so much. I think this fixed it! I need to do more testing in the morning. I assumed that the parameters would be similar for EnterLongStop() and ExitLongStop.


Thanks again!
