does not deem one more important than the other, it only looks at the FIRST 
signal then ignores additional signals until the exit signal has 
occurred

 Thank you for your prompt 
reply.
 
I feared that was the case from reading the 
documentation.  It appears that some buy signals
are deemed more important than others.  
I guess I must trust that, over the long haul, the 
reported trades will adequately represent 
the missing ones also.  I don't have to like it; but,
I'll deal with it.
 
Regards,
 
Tony

No you 
won't see that. It only takes one position and while in that position ignores 
any successive entry signal until it exits that 
position.

  Backtesting
  Hello,
   
  I have a question on the backtest function.
   
  Suppose we are testing stock XXX.
  Our trading rules are:
          Buy = 
  condition1
          Sell = 
  condition2
   
  On 10/1/02, XXX meets condition1, establishing Position 
  A
  On 11/1/02, XXX meets condition1, establishing Position 
  B
  On 12/1/02, XXX meets condition2, at the price of 
  P.
   
  On 12/1/02, are two trades, A & B, shown on 
  the backtest report, both
  closed out at price P?
   
  In a number of tests, I have yet to see this 
  occur.
   
  Regards,
