Hello John,
If you are trying to be both long and short at the same time during
the overlaps you will have to trade this in different brokerge
accounts, TS is simulating one account.

JH> Hi all

JH> I have two independent signals: one only goes short, the other only goes
JH> long. Each has its own set of rules, stop losses, breakeven stops etc. I
JH> have tested and optimised each of them independently and each produced good
JH> results. I now wish to combine them in a single system reasoning that the
JH> long signal is not likely to be going long when the short is going short and
JH> vice versa. However when I combine them the combined system does worse than
JH> each of the other systems. I suspect that the problem may be that if you
JH> issue a long signal and the system is short it implies getting out of the
JH> short. Has anybody encountered a similar problem and is there a way to
JH> combine a system and still allow it to operate as though it were two
JH> independent systems?

JH> thanks
