More about Flip for Sell Order
When the Flip for Sell Order option is enabled, the Add block will either perform an addition or a subtraction operation, depending on the value of the Order Side Variable (see: Flip For Sell Order Functionality for more information).
Note If you enable Flip for Sell Order, the order of the inputs matter because it subtracts the two inputs when flipped.
As an illustration, the previous example might produce undesired results if you enable Flip for Sell Order. In the Add block, the first input is 2 and the second input is the bid quantity. If flipped, the Add block would subtract the bid quantity from 2, which is probably not the intended behavior. If you plan to enable Flip for Sell Order, you likely want to configure the Add block as follows.
Example Arrange inputs to work when flipped.
