Post From: Short Trades Placed by Long Only Spreadsheet system?!

I have a long-only strategy I have been putting together as a spreadsheet system. Column K is the only one used - LM and N are all empty - exits are based on bracket orders. When I run a scan based backtest (7 stocks), I am getting several Short trade results! I can't even think how this would happen to start to troubleshoot it? I seem to get different results every time I run it too - maybe something is corrupted? I have restarted the application... It seems to relate to big gaps taking the price over the buy stop entry, but surely a Buy Stop order will never be sent as a Sell Stop even if it has gapped over the entry price before the order gets placed? Has anyone seen this before? - screenshot attached (note backtesting results with numerous Shorts despite empty column LM and N!)... I think something is thoroughly corrupted in fact - this has been working fine to date. Maybe suggestions on how to reset SC? - I did a restart, and cleared all trade sim data. Doc Martin |
