Reversing a strategy Position

[richa61416]

If I am long a contract, and a new signal is generated by my strategy to go short, what is the correct way to go short.

Currently I use the following


ExitLong()
EnterShort()


However I believe this may be incorrect, as, I ended up Short 2 contracts, instead of one. In both the simulated strategy, and my live account strategy.

All you need to call is:

EnterShort()

this will take care of closing the long and opening the short.

Hello,
I would like to ask if anyone knows how to solve the problem with reversin position in case stop loss is used and I need to enter via EnterStopLimit().

My short position is closed by stop loss (correctly), but command to enter long position in the same bar is ignored (EnterLongStopLimit). I am sure that strategy coding is correct as when I use only long part, it generates correct entry signals.

Thank you for any idea how to solve it.

Please run with TraceOrders = true. I suspect you may be running into one of these Internal Order Handling Rules. Please check them out here and confirm with your logs if this is the case: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...verview36.html. If not please provide the reason the TraceOrder logs provide as to why your order is ignored. Thanks
