Hi Everyone,
Backtesting an EA and have noticed some incredibly strange profit results:
Long trade is trailed out 4 pips above the entry price but results in a $67 loss
Commission charge is only .7 pips, so should still be a 3.3 pip profit. Account is in USD and lot size .21 = $2.10 / pip.
Any idea why backtester is giving me a $67 loss (approx 32 pips) from a profitable trade?
I've never come across this before ...
It's due to SWAP. Your order has remained open for more than 2 months. You can read this similar thread. Regards.
