Use of ExitLongorShortLimit

[galsermil]

Is it correct that the use of any ExitLongLimit() (as an example) will exit all long entries created by a strategy if the <from entry signal> is an empty string? If you are dealing with more than one entry, what must you do to get the quantities grouped together?

Hi, thanks for posting. If you want to organize and target specific entries you should use signal names. If you do not use signal names, you can specify a quantity to exit e.g. If you enter long twice, you can call ExitLongLimit() twice with a quantity of 1 to exit each entry individualy.

Chris,

I asked a very specific question and I would appreciate a very specific answer. Is it true that an empty string in <from entry signal> in Exit/Long/Short() will exit all Long/Short entries of a strategy?

Hi, You need to make sure the quantity is correct. If you are long a quantity of 2 and you call ExitLongLimit() with a quantity of 1 it will only close one contract. You can do something like this to exit all:

ExitLongLimit(Position.Quantity, LimitPrice);

The is also testable using the Sim101 account and the simulated data feed if you want to test a certain scenario.
