Reverse Code is not working

[Jorge.andres.o]

Hello,

I have this code. It is suppose to reverse the whole strategy. It should close open positions, cancel orders and, also, submit orders and positions in the other direction. However, the algorithm is close open positions and cancelling orders, but it is not submitting orders or positions in the other side. Would you please help me finding the solution? I don't see the error.
Also, if you need the full code or a bigger piece, I need to send it privately. Thank you so much in advance!

if ( TimeToTrade() && barNumberOfShortEntries == 0 && okToEnter )
{
if (ShortSignal())
{
//Reverse if we are long or have open long orders
if ( Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long || barNumberOfLongEntries > 0 )
{
LongReverse();
}

PlaceShortEntries();
}
}

Hello Jorge.andres.o, thanks for your question.

From the structure of the code, it looks like the PlaceShortEntries() method is in an incorrect place. If this becomes true it will do a long order, but right after that you call PlaceShortEntries:

if ( Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long || barNumberOfLongEntries > 0 )
{
LongReverse();
}

It looks like you just need to re-structure the code. There are existing examples that do reversals, like the SampleMACrossover. In the Managed approach it's quite easy to do a reversal on a position. If you call EnterLong(), then subsequently call EnterShort(), NinjaTrader will automatically close out the long position and enter the short position. There is also a reversal example here:

Please let me know if I can assist any further.
