[Programming Help] - Wrong order size and multiple entries in the Replay

In the spreadsheet formula I've selected NO for "Multiple entries in the same direction" and specified 1 as the order size. Hence, I should not see two or more long (or short) traedes in the same direction and no more than 1 lot per trade. However, I've been getting wrong output lately while running the Replay. Please see the attachment for clarification.

The problem seems to be getting more frequent with time. Not sure what the culprit is but I did update Sierrachart this morning to the latest build. Is anyone else seeing the same problem with the order size? Or with the two opposite orders within the same bar or candle as you can see on the chart?

Also when the order size is changed (as noted above), the Daily Profit/Loss (marked as "DPL" on the left of the screen) changes dramatically. For example, it would jump from 5 points to 120 points. This obviously throws me off, since I can't keep track of my strategy.

Even stranger phenomenon is occurring today. When a buy or sell condition is met, an arrow would normally show on the chart and the trade is executed at the next bar's open. But I see a trade made where the arrow is not visible. In the attached pic, you can clearly see the red horizontal line indicating that a short trade was entered, but there is no indication of an arrow or the price of entry. Also the trade size is for 2 lots, whereas it should be 1 lot.

It's becoming totally chaotic. Please see the attachment. I am beginning to wonder if this might be related to the latest update. I'll reinstall SC and see if that will fix the problem.

Reinstalled SierraChart v2040 and ran the Replay. There was one occurrence of a double fill, but other than that I didn't see any problems as before. It must have been corrupt data.
