Thank you Mike and Bistrader!

Once I changed code and use different conditions for my "Sell" and "Cover", it works like a charm.

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.
