I'm attaching some screen shots to further explain my question. I have a very simple scalping strategy that I am testing. I use a short moving avg of the bar highs and a separate short ma of the bar lows. Depending on any trend in the market, I am trying to enter a limit order sell at the high avg, and exit that trade with a limit buy at the low avg. Vice versa for the opposite situation. My problem is the system gets me into a trade, but never exits unless my separate stop is hit. Even when the price drops below the low avg on the chart, the limit order is never issued. I looked on the log and did see an error message, (included in the screen shots) but I'm not sure what it means, and I was trying to exit an order not enter one so I'm not even sure if it applies to this situation. Any advice on correcting my problem will be greatly appreciated.
