different action names for same trade

[binwang2]

Hi NT experts,

I assume the following definitions for Order.Action names: for long - Buy and Sell; for short - SellShort and BuytoCover.

However, I see different action names for same transactions under Order and Execution tabs in performance report. For example, for a short trade, action name column under Order tab lists them as SellShort and BuytoCover. However, action name column under Execution tab shows same trades as Sell and Buy.

I think in our programming, Order tab values are correct. Please help to confirm.

binwang2, your assumption is correct, the orders tab in the Account performance section matches those - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...V6/IOrder.html
