Using TS2ki.

I must really be brain dead... at the very least it must be a case of 
user error.  Can someone tell me what obvious thing I am missing?
If I have a simple system that loses 100k, shouldn't it make a profit of 
100k buy changing the Buy to Sell, and the Sell to a Buy?

This example is a loser on the chart I'm looking at:

if c > average(c,50)
 then buy on close;


if c < average(c,50)
 then sell on close;

----------
If I reverse the buy and sell signals in TS2k, it still is a loser.  But 
if I reverse the entry signals in Metastock it is a winner by the same 
amount it had previously lost.

What am I doing wrong in TS?
Thanks!
