BUG in MT4 backtester ? BUY trade gets MINUS PROFIT despite higher close price then open price.

Wondering my you keep on losing your (backtest-) account ?

Have a look

Enlighten me, in case I miss something here.

NOTE:
The backtested EA uses trailing SL to close positions.

It's the swap of the order, in fact orders closed within the day are with positive profit.

There are no swaps in backtest. I might be wrong.

It's not a bug but probably a feature BY DESIGN ...
