Hello SteveReiza,

Thank you for your post.

To better understand your strategy's behavior and narrow down what part of your logic is causing it to go Long, have you enabled Trace Orders and added prints? If you have not done so yet, please review the information on the following guide and then review the output after enabling Trace Orders and adding prints:

https://support.ninjatrader.com/s/article/Developer-Guide-Debugging-using-Print-and-TraceOrders?language=en_US

The information in the NinjaScript Output window should be useful to identify when it is going long and understand why so you may modify your strategy as needed. You may generate the output by running a backtest in the Strategy Analyzer or even running your strategy over the same time period in the Playback connection.

If you are unsure of the meaning of the output, you may save it to a text file by right-clicking the NinjaScript Output window then selecting Save As. Then, the text file may be attached to your reply here so we may assist you further and guide you through the next steps of debugging unexpected behavior.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.
