Control points

[[Deleted]]

In strategy tester there is option to use control points.

Can somebody give exact definition of this concept?

Thanks.

Thanks, Gordon.

May I ask one more question.

When I run strategy tester sometimes at the end the graph falls down abruptly

and it says in report

Close at stop.

So few last positions are closed with unusual losses.

Thanks.

This is probably because the EA you are testing doesn't use stop loss. At the end of test all opened trades are closed automatically by tester. The last few opened trades have negative profit at the end of test period hence the fall down.
