Why won't Exits work?

[Skechers]

Hello there,

I'm finding that ExitLong() and ExitShort() don't work. However, before going realtime, the print statements show the exits were executed.

What would cause this?

They were both entered using EnterLong( "EnterLongMarket" ) and EnterShort( "EnterShortMarket" );

Many Thanks, Caesar.

Hello Caesar,

Thank you for your post.

Do you see any errors in the Log tab of the Control Center that could be related? If you enable Trace Orders in your strategy, does the output show anything about orders being ignored or rejected? Are you calling only ExitLong() and/or ExitShort(), or do you use signal names and fromEntrySignal values as well?

I look forward to your reply.

Hi Emily,

It turns out I had called CancelOrders immediately after calling ExitLong or Short. The effect was the Exit order was cancelled before even going to the broker (I think). I've separated the two calls in different event methods, it works now.

Many Thanks, Caesar.
