Strategy Message

No Entry Reverse

Cannot enter a new {{ entryOrderSide }} {{ ticker }} position because we could not exit the open {{ openPositionSide }} {{ ticker }} position. A reverse first exits the open position and then enters a position on the opposite side; with no position to exit, TradersPost cannot submit an entry order for the opposite side.

This message indicates that a new position on the opposite side could not be entered because you sent action=reverse but there is no open position for the ticker. A reverse first closes the current position and then opens the opposite side; with no position to close, TradersPost does not submit an entry order for the opposite side.

You may see this message together with the "No position open to reverse" notice when you reverse with no position open. Both describe the same situation from different parts of the trade plan (exit vs entry).

To open a position, use action=buy or action=sell instead. After you have an open position, action=reverse will close it and open the opposite side in one signal.
