ExitLong does not cancel trailstop order, leaving net short position instead of flat

[halgo_boulder]

Problem:

Using ExitLong() as second stop loss, but trailing stop also executes, turning what should be a long exit into a net short position.

Here is what I'm doing:

Strategy is calculated on bar close not each tick.

I'm using 2 data series.

[0] the primary chart series is my signal series
[1] the secondary series is the one I'm placing trades on

Thus: in the State>Configure section I am adding only 1 data series.

Note: the primary chart data series is not the same instrument as the data series I add and place trades on.

The issue occurs in market replay (have not tested to see if this occurs in live market)

1. I enter the position (inside of OnBarUpdate) by doing the following:

a. set trailstop

SetTrailStop(TradeType, CalculationMode.Ticks, TrailerSize, true);
where TradeType is a striing I set and TrailerSize is a user entered integer

b. establish a long position using a market order

EnterLong(1,Convert.ToInt32(DefaultOrderQuantity), TradeType);


2. On the primary data series (the chart)
I test to see if price as exceeded a threshhold.
If so, I submit an exitlong order on the secondary data series like this

ExitLong(1,0, "","");

The order and trailstop are established correctly, but the trailstop does not cancel after the position is exited.


Is there something else I need to do to make sure the trailstop is removed?

Thanks.

Hello halgo_boulder,

Please try using a signal name from the entry in the ext method instead of using a blank string to see if that helps. You used TradeType as the entries signal name, you can pass that to the exit as well to ensure it targets that specific entry and its position.

OK I will give that a try thank you.
