My system keeps exiting the trade on the open the day after I enter the trade and I can't figure out why.  I thought it had to do with the exitprice or the chandelier stop so I made some changes there but I'm still getting the same result.  Would somebody mind taking a look for me?

Thanks,

Darren

Thanks to anyone taking a look, but I think I just figured it out!

If you have figured it out -- well done.

What was the problem, others with the same problem later may read this thread and wonder what their problem is too.
