Matt,
There are a few differences in the way the syntax
for entering and exiting trades is treated. If
you export the ELA file from TS2ki to TS6 it will
convert the syntax automatically. I had the same
problem. Instead of "ExitLong at market", TS6
uses "sell next bar at market", and instead
of "ExitShort at market", it uses "buy to cover
next bar at market".
I think this was done to make it
more "conversational" for those not familiar with
EasyLanguage, although I think it just makes
things harder for everyone else.
Hope this helps.
