Ken,

I don't know if this is your situation or not but if there are 
several buy/sell/short/cover statements check to see that they are 
not written in a way where the sell/cover aren't dependent on the 
short/buy NOT also occuring.

I often write systems this way in AB to avoid cluttering the chart 
i.e.

Short = Condx;

Sell = Condy AND NOT Short;

This would keep the sell arrow from appearing.  Also check to see how 
you have reverse entry signal forces exit in the AA general signals.
