Hello ajgauss13,

To understand why an order is ignored, enable TraceOrders and view the output in the output window.

It does take time for orders to fill and for the position to change.
If you would like to submit an exit and then submit a new entry, you will need to wait for the order to fill in OnExecutionUpdate() and send the new order from there.
