Tester output wrong profit results

[James Kirika Wanjiru]

Hi I created a multi currency EA to work with 3 default symbols. At first the EA was working just fine until I added a 4th symbols and hell broke loose. So the issue is calculation of profits int he tester the values are just wrong. even when working with the 3 default symbols. I fail to understand the issue because when i run the EA on live market, profits calculations are right. please see attached pictures.

in the tester for step index  profits are correct base on current price, open price and volume but wrong for profits for the volatility 25/50. if the issue is the code shouldn't there be some kind of consistency? where I get all crazy values.

after downloading a new mt5, the tester works fine even with 5 symbols. If anyone has a solution to my problem or at least a reason why it happened, I will much much appreciate thankyou

             My program doesn't work. I think system facility X is broken.

   It is almost always your code.

2. On MT4: Unless the current chart is that specific symbol(s)/TF(s) referenced, you must handle 4066/4073 errors before accessing candle/indicator values.

   On MT5: Unless the current chart is that specific pair/TF, you must synchronize the terminal Data from the Server before accessing candle/indicator values.

3. Don't try to use any price (or indicator) or server related functions in OnInit (or on load or in OnTimer before you've received a tick), as there may be no connection/chart yet:
   1. Terminal starts.
   2. Indicators/EAs are loaded. Static and globally declared variables are initialized. (Do not depend on a specific order.)
   3. OnInit is called.
   4. For indicators OnCalculate is called with any existing history.
   5. Human may have to enter password, connection to server begins.
   6. New history is received, OnCalculate called again.
   7. A new tick is received, OnCalculate/OnTick is called. Now TickValue, TimeCurrent, account information and prices are valid.
