TrailingStrategy creating multiple trades per bar

[jpcoder2]

When I inherit from TrailingStrategy I am seeing multiple trades per bar created. Is there something simple I am doing wrong? Is there an example of this base class that shows it's correct usage? I've seen the one that uses TrailingStrategy and SignalStrategy together but I just want to use TrailingStrategy.

I'm still not sure why this was doing this, but I seemed to have worked around the problem. I change the condition on my buys and sells from checking self.position.is_long/short to self.position.size == 0. I only wanted one trade at a time anyway so this seems better, but I still don't get how it could have created multiple trades in the same direction previously.

Just to confirm, were you maybe initializing it with lots of data? Plotting does some downsampling if more than 10_000 candles:

backtesting.py/backtesting/_plotting.py

Line 89 in 73e1534

_MAX_CANDLES = 10_000

Multiple trades per bar have been confirmed with trade data?
