[amibroker] How do I get AB back test to show same bar long and short signals on EOD data?

I am trying to back test a day trading system using end of day data.  The system can produce a long and short position on the same day. All positions are closed at a profit target or on the close.  The majority of the time the (98%) the system only produces 1 trade, either long or short.  However, on the days when the system triggers both long and short trades the back test result is only capturing the long trade.  I have also coded the system as an exploration and the exploration will only capture the long position.  

Under the settings I have selected reverse entry forces exit and allow same bar exit.  I know there is a way to for AB to pick up both signals but I am stumped?

The system has the following rules:

X is less than Y
Buy Entry level & Short target 	= x
Sell Short Level & Buy target 	= y

Long entry 1	Go long when open is less than or equal to x 
Long entry 2 	Go long when open is greater than or equal to y AND low less than or equal to x

Short entry 1	Go short when open is greater than or equal to y 
Short entry 2 	Go Short when open is less than or equal to x AND high is greater than or equal to y

Long exit = if high is >= Y or MKT on close

Short exit = if low is <= x or MKT on close


Any suggestions on how to get the back test and the exploration working is appreciated. 

Thanks in advance,
Spike
