2 exits triggering at the same time issue

[Ousher]

I have 2 different conditions that will exit a trade when triggered.

Rarely but it happens that both of the conditions are met at the same, trigging both to exit my 1 position.

What happens is that since both of them trigger an exit, it actually takes a sell position after exiting my long position.

Any way to fix this?

Use bools to switch off one condition check when the other triggers.

Good idea, thanks!

Hello Ousher,

Thank you for your note.

As eDanny mentioned, one way to fix this would be to use a bool in the conditions that trigger an exit. You could use something like exitTriggered that defaults to false. Once an exit is triggered, aside from the action to exit you could also set exitTriggered to true. This way when the other condition that would also trigger an exit checks to see if the bool is false, it won't be able to execute. You could "reset" the bool exitTriggered back to false after a position is entered again so that it is reloaded for the next exit to trigger.

If you have any additional questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out.
