I have BackScanner configured to "Short at next open 1 bar from now when condition is true." and "Exit at next open when trade length greater than 0 bars, and exit all at open 0 bars from now."

I'm getting some strange results.  Most of the plots on the graph are for 1 day, but some are as long as 6 days!

What wrong?

Put the exits before the enters, otherwise if the enter is true on an open trade the exit won't fire, as only 1 rule will trigger per bar.
