Hi,

I have got an issue with Exit Buy in Trading System Based on Alert Condition.

During backtests, it works as intended. During live trading, it often doesn't close all positions of a symbol but only 1 position. The "Maximum..." parameters are high enough (although I am not sure if they are even relevant for exits.).

Do you have an idea, what the cause might be? (By the way, I wanted to use it as a backup for stop loss orders which sometimes get cancelled by IB -> I do need to get the Buy Exit working flawlessly).

Thank you for your advice

FYI, I think that the issue can be explained by this information which I now found in the help: "The total quantity that will be exited is the lesser of the Order Quantity defined on the Trade Window or the current Position Quantity.". Problem solved (hopefully).
