//the last bar happens to meet the criteria and due to the fact that all openning positions have been cleared so,
//it successfully placed another order and led to the "Trade Quantity" in Trades tab > Allowed number of position


//Fixed by adding 1 more criteria
//ended up with now using bar replay, each bar only processed once instead of 4 for each OHLC price
