Ken,
>From MY perpsective only this box should ALWAYS be checked ...
If I had a system that was potentially going long and short on some
particular security and it was currently long and it encountered a
condition to go short I would want the long position to be
automatically exited whether I so stated or not. Without this box
being checked a short statement I would think would initiate a short
position and leave open the existing long.
