Better to keep the entry name and exit name separate for report
consideration.

dbs

vars:SigVal(0),ESigName(""),EntryP(0),ExitP(0),Profit(0),PF(0),
MP(0),XSigName("");

MP=MarketPosition;

If {Buy Setup Conditions} and SigVal<>1 then begin
    if  PF >= 2.0 then Buy("MyBuy") at Market;
    SigVal=1;EntryP=C;ESigName="MyBuy";
end;

if reason to exit then begin
  if SigVal=1 then begin
    if  MP=1 then EXITLONG("MyBExit") at Market;
    ExitP=C;Profit=ExitP-EntryP;XSigName="MyBExit");
    {...Calculate and print whatever values you want in the report...}
    SigVal=0;
  end;
