Exiting position and entering position right away.

[zaro33]

I want be able to exit a long position and then exit that position and then enter another long position right after I exit the Long position. Is this possible? Or I will have to wait for another candle to occur? I put the code below of what I would want, but it does not work of course.

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (BarsInProgress != 0)
return;

// Condition set 1
if (CrossAbove(MACD(12, 26, 40), MACD(12, 26, 40).Avg, 1))
{
ExitLong();
EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "");
}

// Condition set 2
if (CrossBelow(MACD(12, 26, 40), MACD(12, 26, 40).Avg, 1))
{
ExitLong();
EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "");
}

}

Hello zaro33,

When using the managed approach, do not call an exit and an entry at the same time.

If you are short, just call EnterLong(). If you are long just call EnterShort() without calling the exit first.

The managed approach automatically sends an order to exit the existing position and then sends an order to enter the new position.

Calling an exit and entry at the same time will not allow the position to update before entry method call and will result in an overfill or the position becoming double in the opposite direction.
