That's because you executed signals 2 and 3 on the SAME BAR. When
CurrentBar = 15, MarketPosition is still -1 from the short position.
And MarketPosition doesn't change until the CLOSE of the bar. So you
issued TWO EXITLONG signals and never issued a buy order.
Change signal 3 to "if currentbar=20" and you'll end up long one
contract on bar 20, just like you wanted.
The method I suggested DOES work to add/subtract contracts. It's a
bit clumsy but it works.
