Result is the actual end result of that specific run.

Profit are all profitable trades summed up.

It means, these runs, one per line, has had profit trades. All combined have made a profit, reflected in the column "Profits". But combined with your losses, the end result is negative, as can be seen in the column "Result".

If you show the hidden columns you can check their coloring, that influence the one of Result.

This is an integral and complex measure of a test pass quality. It measures multiple parameters:

• Number of Deals
• Drawdown
• Recovery Factor
• Expected Payoff
• Sharpe Ratio

It's not negative (a Balance Max result can't really be negative, because trading stops before getting to that point), rather is a very poor one according to the paramenters above.
