ExitShort and EnterLong () method issue

[shankar.deshapande]

Hi ,

When ever Long signal is generated by strategy i first exit open position by ExitShort() and in next bar i enter new position by EnterLong(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantity)) . As per above first it exits position but in next candle when it enters it Doubles quantity and opens position .How to avoid this and always make sure only 1 Quantity open

I first exit open position by ExitShort()

Don't do that.

In Managed mode, this is not necessary.

When EnterLong is called, it will automatically exit
the short position, if one exists.

But i i want to do it on seperate bar like in first bar exit and then in next bar enterLong , How can i do it?

Hello shankar.deshapande,

Don't call an Exit method and Entry method at the same time, as it takes time for the exit order to be submitted, accepted, filled, and then for the position to change.

For the entry method, require the position to flat.

Hello shankar.deshapande,

To confirm, you are requiring the position to be flat before submitting the entry in the opposite direction?
