How does backtest give 2000$ in one day 0.01 Lot?
Amgad Samir Nassief Abdelmalek:
An error obviously.in backtest, it gives me 3 positions in date Dec 2, 2019, AUDCAD, 0.01 Lot
at 00:00 as shown
my qustions:
1- Is this error or real values?
2- if it's error, is it because of EA, Backtest or Chart?
3- is it possible to give the same value with negative?
4- How to avoid it if it's dangerous?
There is nothing dangerous here, we are talking about the Strategy Tester.

No idea what you mean.
I ask if there a posible to lose 2000$ in this day instead of earning

in backtest, it gives me 3 positions in date Dec 2, 2019, AUDCAD, 0.01 Lot
at 00:00 as shown
my qustions:
1- Is this error or real values?
2- if it's error, is it because of EA, Backtest or Chart?
3- is it possible to give the same value with negative?
4- How to avoid it if it's dangerous?
while my strategy depends on night trading.
Thank you
