I keep getting the following entry in my log file when I try to bar base back test. I make sure there are no working orders, etc. Can you help?

Auto-Trading: Replay 1.0X: USDCAD/USD.CAD-CASH-IDEALPRO [R] Renko 10t #1 | USDCAD | BuyExit signal is ignored. Long position quantity does not exist or there are already working exit orders that will flatten the position. Current Position with working exit orders: 0. Current Position: 0. Current Position with exit market orders: 0 | 2015-05-24 12:37:23

This makes sense:

BuyExit signal is ignored. Long position quantity does not exist or there are already working exit orders that will flatten the position. Current Position with working exit orders: 0. Current Position: 0. Current Position with exit market orders: 0

You cannot have a Buy Exit without a position.

Refer to the rules here:
