I have been using an old Meta 8.0 but just start using Enhanced System Tester recently. The system I test was very simple ; buy at some HHV, stop when drop to certain LLV and reverse to short at the same bar. So I put the same formula that generate buy signal in both Buy Order / Buy to Cover Order , and put the same formula that generate sell signal in both Sell Order / Sell Short Order.

When the test completed, I "plot on chart" to see the result. To my surprise, if I use Portfilio -> "Long only" or " Short only" (Delay order could be any bar included 0) , the arrow output was on correct bar; exit and reverse arrow on the same bar. However when Portfilio -> "Both" was applied, the exit was on correct bar but the reverse signal was on the next (formula) signal. What I expected was to have the exit and reverse arrow on the same bar for the Stop and Reverse formula.

I tried any combination of the test options but got more confused. How can I make the exit and reverse arrow on the same bar when using "Both" and "Delay order opening" ?

Thanks for help
