Using 'Spreadsheet System for Trading' Study.

When the system is long or short with several positions, on SOME occasions, when the respective Buy/Sell Exit column flips to 1, NOT ALL positions are exited.

The signal that I am using for the Buy/Sell Exit column is very volatile and may be triggered only for a very short time, e.g. shorter than the bar period (and maybe also shorter than the chart update interval (which I cannot prove)).

My expectation is, that IF an Exit is triggered, then it would exit ALL positions, not just a subset.
However, this obviously is not the case.

Is this a bug or feature?

A screenshot of the behavior, where the system needs several triggers to exit all positions.

A more dramatic screenshot.
You can see where the first exit was triggered, but only for 1 position.
Would have been a nice trade if ALL positions had exited.
But the triggers only fired for 1 (or few) positions.
The bulk was probably cancelled on a reversal. Would have to look at it in detail.
