[amibroker] BarsSince() not working as expected.

A backtest results in 50 trades:

Buy = Condition 1;
Sell = Condition 2:

If I change this to,

Buy = Condition 1;
Sell = Condition 2;
Buy = Buy and Barssince(Sell)>0;
Sell = Sell and BarsSince(Buy)>0;

then the number of trades reduces to 27. I would have expected the 
BarsSince()>0 statement to have no effect on the number of trades. I 
also have the same reduction in the number of trades if I use ==0 in 
place of >0. Is there a problem here with the logic?
