Strategy for exits only not working

[Ousher]

I manually enter trades and created a strategy that helps me automatically exit them.

My code is fairly simple but nothing happens even if the conditions are met

double level0;
double level1;

if ((level0 < level1)
&& (Close[0] < Close[1])
)
{

ExitLong(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantity), "", "");
}
)

I printed out the level0 & level1 to verify and the data all looks correct.
I checked the Output window and didnt see any exits being sent.
The strategy runs in Volumetric chart if it matters and I have already set the bar type as Volumetric

 NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.BarsTypes.VolumetricBarsTy pe barsType = Bars.BarsSeries.BarsType as
NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.BarsTypes.VolumetricBarsTy pe;

if (barsType == null)
return;

Any ideas on what I can do?

Hi Ousher, thanks for writing in. Use print within the condition block to see if the Exit order is being hit:


if ((level0 < level1) && (Close[0] < Close[1]) )
{
Print("Processing Exit");
ExitLong(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantity), "", "");
}

If you do see this and there is no exit then turn on Trace Orders in State.SetDefaults and look to the output window again after the exit order gets hit. It will show you any information about ignored orders.

Kind regards,

Hi,

i added the print line but the output is not showing any ignored orders being sent, anything else I can try?

Hi Ousher, thanks for your reply. Do you see the print right next to the exit order or do you not see the print? I mentioned two things in my first reply. 1. Adding a print right next to the exit order and seeing if it prints out and 2. If you do see the print and the exit did not work, turn on Trace Orders. The Trace Orders will display ignored orders. See here for a list of reasons why an order might be ignored and see if your strategy is hitting one of these rules:
