How do I make sure that when I exit, the entire position is liquidated? Quantity is set at 2 but sometimes I have a position of 4.... I have implemented 2 exits, although sometimes they trigger on the same bar, not fully exiting the position.. Please help..

Current buy exit example : =OR(AND(AA3<AG3,AA4>AG4),AND(AA3<AI3,AA4>AI4))

You need to put a formula in J26 to control the quantity. I would do something like split your signals, for example put one in column O and one in column P and return 2 if true and 0 if false, then in colmumn K say if either O or P are 2 then true, and in J26 put O3+P3 to give either 2 or 4.

In the Order Quantity cell you will want to set it to 0 and then the full position will be Flattened with the Exit signal.
