    Trouble Scaling out

    After wrestling with the reference sample, I was able to come up with this, and I don't understand why it isn't working. Whenever I backtest it, it simply scales out everything at the set profit target, instead of scaling out half and letting the second half scale with the trailing stop.

    Code:
    public class jhk : Strategy
        {
            #region Variables
            // Wizard generated variables
            private int myInput0 = 1; // Default setting for MyInput0
            // User defined variables (add any user defined variables below)
            #endregion
    
            /// <summary>
            /// This method is used to configure the strategy and is called once before any strategy method is called.
            /// </summary>
            protected override void Initialize()
            {
                EntriesPerDirection = 1;
                EntryHandling         = EntryHandling.UniqueEntries;
                
                SetStopLoss(CalculationMode.Ticks, 10, false);
                SetProfitTarget("Long1a", CalculationMode.Ticks, 20);
                SetProfitTarget("Short1a", CalculationMode.Ticks, 20);
                SetTrailStop(CalculationMode.Ticks, 8);
    
                CalculateOnBarClose = true;
            }
    
            /// <summary>
            /// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
            /// </summary>
            protected override void OnBarUpdate()
            {
                // Condition set 1
                if (CrossAbove(SMA(6), SMA(10), 1)
                    
                {
                    EnterLong(1,"Long1a");
                    EnterLong(1, "Long1b");
                    DrawArrowUp("My up arrow" + CurrentBar, false, 0, 0, Color.Lime);
                }
    
                // Condition set 2
                if (CrossBelow(SMA(6), SMA(10), 1)
                    
                {
                    EnterShort(1, "Short1a");
                    EnterShort(1, "Short1b");
                    DrawArrowDown("My down arrow" + CurrentBar, false, 0, 0, Color.Red);
                }

    I suggest debugging your code as per here: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/v...ead.php?t=3418

    Also: TraceOrders coudl be of value too. Please check out the docs.
