[Tonyanse]

I m developing a custom strategy, after few months of work, it seems to be done, however, no I m facing this crazy issue: for some reason, sometimes when the strategy close a position due Stoploss (ExitPosition) or TrailStop (ExitStopMarket), strategy execute 2 times de closing command, at the same price and same candle and same time, now this behavior, create a phantom position, in the opposite side of the double closing, The strategy wont show this position in the chart, strategy wont no manage this position, (of course is a phantom position), but I can see the position in the control panel, position. I tried everything and modified my code and stil getting the same issue. Attached charts screen capture and Log an executions list. PLEASE SOME BODY HELP

Hello Tonyanse,

This most often occurs when using the managed approach and calling an entry and exit method at the same time, or using multiple exit orders for the same position.

Below is a link to a forum post that discusses.

Enable TraceOrders and print the order.ToString() in OnOrderUpdate() to see which orders are being submitted.

thanks for your reply, my strategy just handle 1 entry per direction, I got a trailingstop called using ExitShortStopMarket, if the price move in my favor, and I set a ExitPosition, as you can see in the attached chart, the first entries and exits were handled, with no problems with StopExit_ExitName, then suddenly the same process that was working with no problem, created 2 StopExit exits at the same time, sending 2 orders, then the first order effectively close the ShortPosition opened, then the 2nd StopExit, just created a position in the opposite side meaning LONG, now this position is not printed in the chart, the strategy have no knowledge of this position so the strategy can no managed it, then this position keep opened til I closed it manually from control panel. do you think you could double check my script, to help me? maybe you can see in there what i can not. Thanks so much for your reply

Hello Tonyanse,

I'm having trouble following your statement. The output from the prints would be far more helpful.

However, it sounds like you are submitting multiple exits for the same position entry and both exits are filling.
I would suggest you do not submit multiple exits for the same position entry. If necessary to change the order type, cancel the first order, when the order updates as cancelled in OnOrderUpdate() submit the replacement order. This would prevent both orders from being filled.


I would not be able to debug your script on your behalf, but if you want to post this on the forum you can.

To assist I need the print output so I can see what is actually occurring.
