As long as the criteria are expressed as "buy" and "sell," the system
will automatically reverse the position.  If you want to just play one
side or the other, you would use "exitlong" or "exitshort."

If you end up not ever getting a closed position, then the problem must
be that your exit or exit/reverse criteria has not been met.  This can
happen easily if you have made an error in the code.  If this is
happening with a canned system, then this would be strange - try it with
*all* the default settings and it should work - then - add other stuff
one at a time and see what is screwing it up.
