MT5 Strategy Tester - Closing Open trades at end

[Eddi Rae Melton]

Hello,

I am new to using the Strategy Tester and I am confused as to why the open trades are closed when the timeframe is completed.  This skews my results since this is the only loss that I have in my run.  How can I not get those included in my results?

Thanks!!

Add a shutdown datetime and prevent your EA from opening them.

How would I know what datetime to use when I am not sure when the trade would be started?
