SellShort not being triggered

Hello, I’m testing a simple backtest, below is an outline of what it should do
- Adjust the level at which a Short is triggered if a higher low for the previous candle occurs.
- The level of the Short is set to the value of the new higher low minus 10pips
For some reason it never triggers, if I set an explicit vale like, 1.48020 then it’ll work fine, attached is a screenshot of my backtest with indicators as to where it starts and where I expect the trigger to occur. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False // Cumulating positions deactivated ONCE levelUpdated = 0 ONCE trackPips = 0.00100 ONCE shortPrice = 0 IF (Low[1]-trackPips) > shortPrice THEN shortPrice = (Low[1]-trackPips) levelUpdated = 1 ENDIF IF STRATEGYPROFIT > 0 OR STRATEGYPROFIT < 0 THEN QUIT ENDIF IF levelUpdated = 1 THEN SELLSHORT 1 CONTRACT AT shortPrice STOP levelUpdated = 0 ENDIF
