Short position not exiting on short version of strategy DmiMA

[demarcog]

I downloaded a strategy DmiMA from the ecosystem files share - which was long only.

Not being much of a developer I attempted to create as a first pass a separate Short only version for further incorporation into one long/short script.

I reversed the logic and literally spent hours trying to figure out why it will not exit a short position.

This strategy is also using generic global variables (Variable0,1,2,3) which I'd not seen before and further confuses the code.

I suspect it's something obvious and would appreciate a fresh pair of eyes if anyone would be so kind.

If anyone has any ideas on suggesting a sample strategy that has shown some reasonable possibility as a starting point of being successful on intraday STX Indices it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Hello glen,

Do you have TraceOrders enabled?

Are there trace order messages stating that an order was ignored or cancelled?

Are you printing the order object in OnOrderUpdate()?

Do you have a print when the exit order is being submitted?

If you are not debugging the script using Print() and TraceOrders to understand the behavior, please see the thread below with instructions.

Are you using a signal name with the entry? Does the from Entry Signal of the exit match the signal name of the entry?

Chelsea,

Thanks for the suggestions. Perhaps I should have tried those first instead of posting. Can you please delete the post as thought I was able to previously.
