Strategy Tester Swap calculate wrong.

[Thi Ngoc Tram Le]

It appears that the Swap cost calculation in the MT5 strategy tester may be incorrect.

A Buy trade on USDJPY was initiated on 2024.11.11 and concluded on 2024.11.15, with a volume of 0.25 and a tick value of 0.64125995.

The trade opened on Monday and closed on Thursday, with the swap amount being tripled on Wednesday.

Comparing two different outcomes: 

1. the live market trade has a swap of $10.05

2. the strategy tester has a swap of $14.06

This suggests that the strategy tester is computing the swap for 7 days, rather than the actual 5 days.

A similar issue when I am testing with other pair.

Does anyone face a similar?

Thank you for the information! I'll treat this bug as a stress test for the strategy 😊
