this is not working as i like for it too.
psudocode:

if Hulls moves above 13 ema then
if i am short then
cover
print string "cover" where i covered
go long one contract
print string "long" where i went long

if hulls moves below 13 ema then
if i am long then
sell
print "Closed"

sell short one contract
print "short" where i went short

---------- CODE -----------------------

inputs:
Price( Close ),
Hulls( 8 ),
EMA( 13 ),
Displace( 0 ),
upColour(Blue),
downColour(Red);

variables:
HullsAvg( 0 ),
EMAvg( 0 ),
MP( 1 );


HullsAvg = jtHMA( Price, Hulls ) ;
EMAvg = AverageFC( Price, EMA ) ;
MP = MarketPosition ;

if HullsAvg crosses over EMAvg then
begin
if MP = -1 then
begin
Buy To Cover("Cover") this bar;
end;
Buy ( "Long" )this bar;
end;


if HullsAvg crosses under EMAvg then
begin
if MP = 1 then
begin
Sell ("Close") this bar;
end;
sellshort( "Short" ) this bar;
end;

Try arranging your REVERSALS outside of your ENTRY

eg.

if HullsAvg crosses over EMAvg then
begin
Buy ( "Long" )this bar;
end;

if HullsAvg crosses under EMAvg then
begin
sellshort( "Short" ) this bar;
end;

if MP = -1 and HullsAvg crosses over EMAvg then Buy To Cover("Cover") this bar;
if MP = 1 and HullsAvg crosses under EMAvg then Sell ("Close") this bar

Did the solution above work for you?

[ephi144]

turns out that when you use Buy or Sell
TS first sells any open positions that you and then enters a buy order and vice versa. so you do not need to explicitly define those orders
