I’m trying to work out the best wat to exit from long and short positions, there seems to be multiple ways to do this and when I back test they produce wildly different results. To enter a short position I can use SELL or SELLSHORT (which one is best) Once I’m in a short position I can use BUY OR EXIT SHORT IF c4 THEN EXITSHORT AT MARKET ENDIF or IF c4 THEN BUY AT MARKET ENDIF Also when I add SHORTONMARKET when using the BUY command to exit a short position this changes the back test result massively when I’d expect it to be the same? IF c4 AND SHORTONMARKET THEN BUY AT MARKET ENDIF I must be be missing something about these commands? Please can someone explain.
