That is, there is no filter and therefore all short signals pass on through. The reason for the difference in the Long trades is that if a strategy has a short trade active, then during that time (and possibly a short time thereafter based on your System Block settings), Long trades have to wait. Otoh, if a formula in the Short filter blocks some or all of the short trades, (“false” or “2=3” does this effectively), then all possible Long trades (given the other strategy settings) will be taken. | |
