However, after correctly executing several trades, NT will suddenly translate an EnterLong command as a BuyToCover order, which my broker correctly rejects. When rejected, the strategy shuts down, so I place the Buy order manually, but the Order tab in NT even shows the External orders as BuyToCover. Is there any known reason that NT insists that I'm in a BuyToCover condition? Is there any way I can force NT to always translate EnterLong commands as Buy orders?

BuyToCover Mystery
I'm running a live NinjaScript strategy (6.5) that moves between a Long ETF and a Short ETF, so all my commands are either EnterLong or ExitLong. The strategy trades every couple of days on average, so I leave the strategy running all week and tweak parameters on the weekend. Most of the time, NT executes the trades as expected.
