Is there an error trap for Strategy.doSell?

[jcm21]

When I execute a sell instruction, but I am not long (eg)
Strategy.doSell("comment",Strategy.CLOSE,Strategy. THISBAR,1);
it appears processing for that daily bar is abruptly discontinued for that bar. Is there an error trap routine in EFS which will allow me to gain control at the interruption?

I did solve the problem by testing for Strategy.isLong()==true before executing the sell command - but would like to know if an error trap routine is available.

not that I'm aware of. What you have to do is write code to check if the SELL order you want to fire is valid. For example..

If you wanted to sell at a certain price, then you have to check to see if the current bar "spans" the price you want to execute at.

if ((high() >= mysellprice) && (low() <= mysellprice)) {
Strategy.doSell("Se", Strategy.LIMIT, Strategy.THISBAR, 1, mysellprice);
}

BTW, the Strategy functions are designed to provide certain types of trade actions.

Strategy.doLong() : Enters a LONG trade position
Strategy.doSell() : Exits a LONG trade position

Strategy.doShort() : Enters a SHORT trade position
Strategy.doCover() : Exits a SHORT trade position
