ExitLongLimit method

[AdeptistJune]

I use EnterLongStopMarket(0, true, 2, High[0] "myEntryOrderLong") to enter into a two contract position.

I use ExitLongStopMarket(0, false, 1, stop, "myStopLossLong", "myEntryOrderLong") to exit one contract (which is my trailing stop)

And then I use targetOrder = ExitLongLimit(0, true, execution.Order.Filled, execution.Order.AverageFillPrice + LongProfitTarget * TickSize, "MyLongTarget", "myEntryOrderLong");

But where in the ExitLongLimit method do I put the int quantity (which should be 1) to exit my last contract if the profit target is hit?

Hello AdeptistJune,

If you want to scale out, I would recommend that you use separate entry orders for each quantity with unique signal names with separate exits using the from entry signals of those entry signal names.

That said
ExitLongLimit(int quantity, double limitPrice, string signalName, string fromEntrySignal)

what is this line of code saying:

if ((Position.MarketPosition != MarketPosition.Flat)
&& (BarsSinceEntryExecution(0, "", 0) == 2))

Hello AdeptistJune,

If the position is not flat (meaning is long or is short) and it has been two bars since the entry order filled.
