Post From: Spreadsheet Trading and attached orders not working for shorts

All of this applies to chart replay only. I have not tried it live yet. My spreadsheet is designed to simply enter a trade. It has no exit rules. The attached order to exit is placed by using attached orders in the Trade Window. This works perfectly for long trades. But for short trades it does not work: - The spreadsheet enters the short position correctly - The Trade Window using attached orders immediately places the exit limit order. It is visible on the chart during replay and all looks normal and correct - Price hits the attached take profit limit order, and this is where things don't work: -- The attached take profit line vanishes from the chart as expected when it is hit by price -- The position remains short on the chart and in the Trade Activity Log. The position has not been closed. -- There is no message in the Trade Services Log -- I stop replay and click flatten in the Trade Window, but the position will not flatten. -- The ONLY way I can find to get rid of the position is to restart chart replay and answer yes when asked if I want to clear the trade history.
