strategy performance shows short position as long

[ttodua]

have there been any known occasion where such thing can happen? in strategy I have:

`EnterShort(NumContracts, "S_LRSI");`

and

`ExitShort("SX_PT", "");`

and also on chart, it shows up well (i.e. 25 July)


what could be the reason? This is the meta:

```
Calculate = Calculate.OnBarClose;
EntriesPerDirection = 1;
EntryHandling = EntryHandling.UniqueEntries;
IsExitOnSessionCloseStrategy = true;
ExitOnSessionCloseSeconds = 30;
IsFillLimitOnTouch = false;
MaximumBarsLookBack = MaximumBarsLookBack.TwoHundredFiftySix;
OrderFillResolution = OrderFillResolution.Standard;
Slippage = 0;
StartBehavior = StartBehavior.WaitUntilFlat;
TimeInForce = TimeInForce.Gtc;
TraceOrders = true;
RealtimeErrorHandling = RealtimeErrorHandling.StopCancelClose;
StopTargetHandling = StopTargetHandling.PerEntryExecution;
```

Hello ttodua,

I'm seeing the entry order name is SX_PT and the exit order name is S_LRSl.

Likely the SX_PT order is a buy order and S_LRSl is a sell order.

You can print the order.ToString() in OnOrderUpdate() to verify.

NinjaTrader_ChelseaB thanks for response, however, did you see my top lines of the post?

`EnterShort(NumContracts, "S_LRSI");`

`ExitShort("SX_PT", "");`

how can `SX_PT` be seen as entry and `S_LRSI` as an exit?

Hello ttodua,

The exit would not be for that entry as the fromEntrySignal does not match the entries signalName.

So there are other orders at work that may be causing the pairing to be not as you expect.

Once you provide the requested debugging output, we will have more information.
