Hello,
 
If you see two arrows it means that you are using old version.
But this is only display quirk not affecting the backtest.
 
You should simply either upgrade to 4.80.1 or remove this chart and add new one
via drag-and-drop not forgetting to enable "show trade arrows" option in parameters window.

Best regards,

Max Positions is 1 and Limit trade size as % is 0!

I see two uparrows on my chart before a square is in between. So this
means that there is a BUY although a Long position is still open?!
