Exit Strategy

[SystemTrading]

Can anyone tell me why this isn't working properly?

 
// risk management
if (Positions[0].MarketPosition==MarketPosition.Long)
{
 // place profit target
 EnterLongLimit(Positions[0].AvgPrice+(profitamount*TickSize));

 // place stop loss
 EnterLongStop(Positions[0].AvgPrice-(stopamount*TickSize)); 

 // track breakeven highwater 
 hw=Math.Max(hw,Positions[0].GetProfitLoss(High[0],PerformanceUnit.Points));
 if (hw>=betrigger)
 behit=true; 

 // place breakeven order
 if (behit)
 EnterLongStop(Positions[0].AvgPrice); 

 // place trailing stop
 EnterLongStop(hw-(stopamount*TickSize));
}

elseif (Positions[0].MarketPosition==MarketPosition.Long)
{
 // place profit target
 EnterShortLimit(Positions[0].AvgPrice-(profitamount*TickSize));

 // place stop loss
 EnterShortStop(Positions[0].AvgPrice+(stopamount*TickSize)); 

 // track breakeven highwater 
 hw=Math.Max(hw,Positions[0].GetProfitLoss(High[0],PerformanceUnit.Points));
 if (hw>=betrigger)
 behit=true; 

 // place breakeven order
 if (behit)
 EnterShortStop(Positions[0].AvgPrice); 

 // place trailing stop
 EnterShortStop(hw+(stopamount*TickSize));
}

good call. probably the culprit. Thanks for the help.

still not working. What could be wrong?

What exactly is not working?

Is this a MultiInstrument Strategy? Positions should only be used in that context - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...Positions.html

Have you tried adding Print() statements and TraceOrders to debug the code?

Found the problem. The problem is I was using EnterLongLimit and EnterLongStop to exit positions.
