Testing Problem

[Kale]

Hi,

I've tested my latest strategy and get nice result, but I wonder why equity is growing up, and just for the end balance is grovng up also. The most proftables trades are on the end of raport. Is that normal? Or is it just an issue of MQ strategy tester?

A very stupid question....what's the difference between balance and equity???

Sorry

LoL the difrence?!!!

It's basics - equity is when u have an open order - virtual money

balance - when u closed the trade - money on your account

BTW I slowed the problem, it was slippage - the orders wasn't closing when I wanted to close them becouse of wrong close price, i changed slippage and now it's working fine.
