[amibroker] Strange error on simple strat



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

I created a simple strategy to measure follow-through:

Buy = 0;
Short = 0;
Sell = 0;
Cover = 0;
BuyPrice = C;
ShortPrice = C;
SetTradeDelays(0,0,0,0);
SetPositionSize( 100, spsPercentOfEquity );
Buy = C >= Ref(C,-1);
Short = C < Ref(C,-1);

Strangely, the backtest is only registering the Short trades. No Buys. Even more strangely, when I invert the Buy and Short orders (Short = C >= Ref(C,-1); Buy = C < Ref(C,-1)), the backtest works fine.

Am I doing something wrong?
