Is this a "feature"?

 

In running my EA through a backtest, I wind up w/ about 80% of my positions getting closed waaaay above or below the high/low on a candle.

My EA is not set to close orders like this. As a matter of fact, doesn't the candle have to get to that point?

Take a look at just one example:

 
Closing the Sell is a Buy which is done at Ask price, Chart is plotted at Bid price so you could end up with close higher than High of a bar by a Spread for this currency pair.

I get what your saying, and that does make sense for a few of them. But most of them are waaay over/under; by 50+ points.

 
Use MetaTrader 4 build 211.
