[amibroker] Re: Eliminating Phantom Positions in CBT

Trading Reference Links

I am having the same problem with both buys and sells. I have posted 
several messages on this board to no avail. Do you mind posting or 
privately emailing me your CBT code (with all setoptions), if it does 
not expose your trading system. Maybe, the two of us can solve this 
issue. I have reported the sell problem issue to tech support (case# 
43606) and the buy problem (case# 43457). TJ, if you have any 
interest in resolving or clarifying this issue I'll be more than 
happy to call you or provide additional details via email,if 
necessary.
