Issue with Signals

So I have developed a strategy that takes both long and short positions.

The issue I am having is that when a bar indicates that the market position should be switched from either a short to a long, or a long to a short on the next bar at market, it will close the current position out (cover short or sell) on the correct tick, but will wait an additional tick to take the new position.

I'm fairly new with all of this signal stuff, so any help will be appreciated.

How to post codes

Thanks for the response TJ.

My code is quite long (30 functions with over 3000 lines) and complex.

But it works fine when use as an indicator.

I'm using TS as my data feed, only testing right now

Hello Pschriber2,

The only correct way to do this is by 1 reverse order, not exit and then enter opposite direction position.
