Closing a PaperTrade via EFS

[tedsmith]

If this has already been addressed in the forum, I can't find it. Please point me in the right direction.

I am able to open an eSignal PaperTrade via EFS code, but am unable to close it (the trade).

Example:
I place a Sell to open a short position,
later a Buy to cover (close the short),
then a Buy to open a long position.
What I get is three open orders... ?
I would expect the first Buy to close out the Sell, but it doesn't.

Maybe I don't understand how this functions. I would expect to see OPEN trades in Executions tab and CLOSED trades in Trade History tab.

Traded symbol is EUR A0-FX, if that matters.

Snippets of PaperTrade code used:
// Script Global Variable Declarations
var vPTrade = null;
// executed in Main()
if ( (vPaperTrade == "true") && (vPTrade == null) ) {vPTrade = new PaperTradeBroker};
// if (vPaperTrade == "true")~
vPTrade.Sell(getSymbol(),100,PaperTradeBroker.MARK ET,close()
// if (vPaperTrade == "true")~
vPTrade.Buy(getSymbol(),100,PaperTradeBroker.MARKE T,close()

Thanks,
Ted.

some help...

Ted,

You have to BUY a positive number ( like 100 or 300)...

and SELL a NEGATIVE number (like -100 or -300).

that is the trick.
