Hi Peter --

To be sure we are all looking at the same situation, post the code you have a question about.

A common reason trades last longer than might be expected is that the Buy condition reoccurs during the trade.

Thanks,
Howard

1. My intention is to buy on the close when I get a signal and exit on the close of the next day. I'm using EOD data. In AA Trades settings I have prices set to close and delays set to 0. In my code I have "Sell = Close ;"

When looking at the trade list the majority of trades last 2 bars as expected. But some last much longer. How do I get them all to last 2 days?

2. When looking at the Trade column of the trades list I see descriptions I don't understand like "Long (trail)", "Long (profit"), "Long (n-bar)", "Long(max loss)", "Long(nn)". In the Stops tab of settings everything is disabled so I don't understand where all these are coming from.
