Hello shankar.deshapande,

Set methods should be called before the entry method is called.

Below is a link to an example.

To reverse a position, call the entry in the opposite direction without using an exit order.
If an entry and exit are called at the same time, the position will not have updated yet, resulting in the exit order, the Close position order, and then entry order all filling causing the position to be double in the reverse direction.

This is detailed in the post below.

Provide output from Prints and TraceOrders if you would like assistance analyzing the behavior.

Hello shankar.deshapande,

Debug the script using TraceOrders and Print().

For the condition that should be calling the SetTrailStop() method, add a print with the time of the bar to confirm this is evaluating as true when expected.

Save the output to a text file and include this with your next post.
