Well, that's open for debate and perhaps a matter of semantics. Market
orders execute on the open of the next bar. In the real world of orders
and executions you wouldn't catch the exact opening tick but would place
a market order once the first tick came in. So you were long on one bar
and reversed to short a few ticks after the open of the next bar. I.E.
you started the next bar with a long position and then reversed to
short. So, you could say you were long, however briefly, on two bars.
Not a big deal the way I see it unless you're the sort of person who
obsesses about such things and expects everyone else to share and agree
with your particular obsession.
