Long and Short signal trading within charts

The signals are working beautifully. However when a Long signal triggers, instead of starting a long trade it cancels the last Short trade.
I´m sure the solution is simple, but I am at a loss.
Thanks in advance

Long the Short

Well, if you are long 4 contracts and then you submit a trade to short 4, then yes, that would just leave you flat.  You would need to short/sell 8 to reverse.  You could add some logic to your long and short signals to set V#s based on whether you are already long or short....to the desired position size, and then use those V#s as the order quantity in the signal action (order).
