The Sell Entries are lining up with the time of the trade closing. So you are getting a Sell offsetting a Buy at some point, which is why it is showing as a Long position. The same is true for the trade that shows the current date - the current date is an Entry, which is then offset by the first Sell order during the backtest.

In other words, there is/was an open position at the time the backtest was started, which created an offset in the order fills.

You need to redo the backtest and ensure that there are no positions or orders in the chart. You may want to delete all simulated orders and positions to ensure that everything is "zeroed" out prior to the backtest. Refer to the following:
