Regarding post #10 the arrows from a trading system are not necessarily going to correspond to the order fills you receive. An order could be ignored, and the reason for that would be given in the Trade >> Trade Service Log.

However, what we see does not look right to us.

We need to do some testing and get back to you on this.

Review the information here because it does affect, how the position quantity and open/close state is determined, for order fills:
Trade Activity Log: Understanding and Setting the Start Date-Time for a Trades List

There is this new setting in Chart Settings, and for back testing we would recommend keeping it at 0:
Chart Settings: Order Fills Number of Days to Load (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu)

Most likely this is the issue.
