I'm working on my first WealthScript code, and I'm having a devil of a time! I thought all my trading logic was correct, but when it executes, the trades duplicate -- I have 6 symbols in my dataset, and all the trades are duplicated 6 times.

And, when I use a piece of code from the QuickRef, the same thing happens! So, perhaps it's not my fault?!

I'm currently testing the code example given for DataSetSymbols:

CODE:
Please log in to see this code.

For my dataset, there are 6 symbols. The BuyAtMarket command is executed 6 times for each bar (entry and exit dates are identical). Any ideas why?? Seems like "s" isn't incrementing until all symbols have been evaluated, but I can't figure out why.

Thanks!

Just more fuel for the fire:

I have also tried the RSIRotation strategy (which is the one I'm trying to modify), and it also executes all trades 6 times. Can anyone else confirm this?

How embarassing! The problem was that I was clicking the name of my dataset, rather than one of the symbols. So, I was running a strategy that evaluates the whole data set in Multi Symbol Backtest mode -- hence the duplication.

Thanks for listening!

Hint: to avoid typical mistakes, it pays off to read the FAQs (or at least the RSI Rotation strategy's description):

A Rotation strategy isn't working like it should."
