[amibroker] Re: Why "Reverse entry signal forces exit" does not work for me?

["bistrader" <bistrader@xxxxxxxxx>]

You have short = sell.  And, buy = cover.  If short was not same as sell, then system could move to short business and still stay on buy.  That is, you would be both long and short at the same time with reverse signal forces exit at false.  If reverse signal forced exit was changed to true, and with different buy, sell, short and cover conditions (and not buy = cover or short = sell), then the system will be long or short on a particular day and not both.
