That's because you specified a "stop" instead of a "limit".  A sell 
"stop" sells at that price OR LOWER.  A sell "limit" sells at that 
price OR HIGHER.

Then you must issue the exit order at the same time you issue the 
entry order.  An order on bar X takes effect ONLY on bar X+1.  If you 
wait until MarketPosition = 1, you're already on the bar where your 
exit might happen, and it's too late to issue an exit order for that 
bar.

if Close < 0.95*EntryPrice then exitlong at close;

(The "at close" isn't really necessary but it's useful to remind you 
when it exits.)
