# ExitShortMIT()

## Definition

Generates a buy to cover MIT order to exit a short position.

## Method Return Value

An **Order** read-only object that represents the order. Reserved for experienced programmers, additional information can be found within the [Advanced Order Handling](/developer/desktop-sdk/references/strategy/order-methods/managed-approach/advanced-order-handling) section.

## Syntax

`ExitShortMIT(double stopPrice)`

`ExitShortMIT(int quantity, double stopPrice)`

`ExitShortMIT(double stopPrice, string fromEntrySignal)`

`ExitShortMIT(double stopPrice, string signalName, string fromEntrySignal)`

`ExitShortMIT(int quantity, double stopPrice, string signalName, string fromEntrySignal)`

**The following method variation is for experienced programmers who fully understand [Advanced Order Handling](/developer/desktop-sdk/references/strategy/order-methods/managed-approach/advanced-order-handling) concepts:**

`ExitShortMIT(int barsInProgressIndex, bool isLiveUntilCancelled, int quantity, double stopPrice, string signalName, string fromEntrySignal)`

## Parameters

| Parameter            | Description                                                                                                                                                                                    |
| -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| signalName           | User defined signal name identifying the order generated. Max 50 characters.                                                                                                                   |
| fromEntrySignal      | The entry signal name. This ties the exit to the entry and exits the position quantity represented by the actual entry. Note: Using an empty string will attach the exit order to all entries. |
| stopPrice            | The stop price of the order.                                                                                                                                                                   |
| quantity             | Entry order quantity.                                                                                                                                                                          |
| isLiveUntilCancelled | The order will NOT expire at the end of a bar but instead remain live until the **CancelOrder()** method is called or its time in force is reached.                                            |
| barsInProgressIndex  | The index of the Bars object the order is to be submitted against. Used to determine what instrument the order is submitted for. See the **BarsInProgress** property.                          |

## Examples

```csharp
private double stopPrice = 0;

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
    if (CurrentBar < 20)
        return;

    // Only enter if at least 10 bars has passed since our last entry
    if ((BarsSinceEntryExecution() > 10 || BarsSinceEntryExecution() == -1) && CrossBelow(SMA(10), SMA(20), 1))
    {
        EnterShort("SMA Cross Entry");
        stopPrice = Low[0];
    }

    // Exits position
    ExitShortMIT(stopPrice);
}
```

## Tips (also see [Overview](/developer/desktop-sdk/references/strategy/order-methods/managed-approach))

* This method is ignored if a short position does not exist.
* It is helpful to provide a signal name if your strategy has multiple exit points to help identify your exits on a chart.
* You can tie an exit to an entry by providing the entry signal name in the parameter "fromEntrySignal".
* If you do not specify a quantity the entire position is exited rendering your strategy flat.
* If you do not specify a "fromEntrySignal" parameter the entire position is exited rendering your strategy flat.
