Fred: thanks very much. I had the Reverse Signal Forces Exit box
CHECKED, and when I unchecked it, my offending trade (the one without
the corresponding cover) disappeared from my chart and from my IB with
signals.
So...not an inconsistency...other than in my having the box checked when
apparently it should not have been.
Please tell me (a little tutorial) when should one check this box and
when should one not check this box. Can I assume that MOST OF THE TIME
it should remain unchecked.
Ken

Ken,
If there are multiple buy/sell/short/cover statements in the AFL, is
it possible that some of the sell/cover statements are written in
such a way as to NOT occur if short/buy statements occur on the same
bar ?
I have sometimes purposesly written stuff this way to avoid
cluttering up the chart with extra arrows i.e.
Short = condx;
Sell = condy AND NOT Short;
Also check to see how you have the setting for reverse signal forces
exit set in the AA.
