2 ways of doing this
first is to use the custom backtest
the other is to create copy of your symbol using addtocomposite, with
different name like AGL and ~AGL_S, and use one for long and one for short
trades. You trade conditions need to include the symbol name to be used
Buy = BuyConditions and Name()=="AGL";
Short = shortconditions and Name()=="~AGL_S";
