[amibroker] Problem shorting in backtest



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

I have my entries and exits set up and they show up fine in a scan.
When I do a backtest it returns blank.

Buy = 0;
Sell = 0;
Short = ExRemSpan(IIf(L < (C - ATR_mult * ATR(30)),short_cond,0),5);
Cover = Cross(H,(EMA(H,5) + ATR_mult * ATR(30)));

If I move the entry and exit to Buy & Sell instead of Short & Cover it
works too.  Is there a switch I need to set to get shorts to work? 
What am I doing wrong?  I have margin set at 50%.

Thanks

Kevin
