Difference in number of trades executed and actual order issued during backtesting

[zuj]

I have a simple pairs trading code in which I buy one symbol and sell another symbol when a condition is met and vice versa when another condition is met. I haven't put any restrictions in backtrader. After analyzing the results using notify_order and notify_trade, I am getting total trades ([('total', 369), ('open', 2), ('closed', 367)]) while for sym1 trades are 241 and sym2 trades are 126. I also added a global variable in next() to record how many times self.close() is called for each symbol and it's 409 for both. Why are there discrepancies in the results?

@zuj It's really hard to help you when we can't see your code.

@run-out I can't share my whole strategy but I will show the part in which I issue trades because that's what matters for the notify_trade() to the best of my knowledge.

if self.currentPosition is None:
        if condition1:
          self.log("Long Entry")
          self.sell(self.data)
          self.buy(self.data1)
          self.currentPosition="long"
        elif condition2:
          self.log("Short Entry")
          self.buy(self.data)
          self.sell(self.data1)
          self.currentPosition="short"
      else:
        if self.currentPosition=="long" and condition3:
          self.log("Long Exit")
          self.close(self.data)
          self.close(self.data1)
          self.trade_count_sym1+=1
          self.trade_count_sym2+=1
          self.currentPosition=None
        elif self.currentPosition=="short" and condition4:
          self.log("Short Exit")
          self.close(self.data)
          self.close(self.data1)
          self.currentPosition=None
          self.trade_count_sym1+=1
          self.trade_count_sym2+=1

trade_count_sym1 and trade_count_sym2 both turn out to be 409 while the trade count from analyzers are mentioned in the original post
