Position not closing when strategy should trigger a close position.

[JohnPayneFun]

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out why sometimes the rules in my strategy don't trigger -- this one is very simple and you can clearly see it not triggering here. The bid crosses over the 41 EMA and it holds the position instead of closing it out.

Here is the full strategy.

Hi John, thanks for posting.

CrossBelow() should be: CrossBelow(EMA4, GetCurrentBid(0), 3), not CrossBelow(GetCurrentBid(0), EMA4, 3)

Another good way to find why a condition is not becoming true is to use the Misc>Print() method to print data from the strategy. e.g.

if(<Trade Condition>)
{
Print("Condition Reached");
ExitLong();
}

Kind regards,
