Strategy tester and resulting graph don't match

I seem to be having a strange issue with the strategy tester and the graph it renders in MetaTrader. The strategy testing visualization is showing me what should be correct according to what I planned in my code. However the resulting graph that comes up in MetaTrader shows me something quite

Advisor keeps placing trades on every candle

Hi everyone, I'm new to the MT platform and so far I really like it. I've been developing my first advisor but I'm running into an issue. I pieced this script together from resources I found around the internet. I have basic coding skills but I'm certainly not a pro, so please excuse me if I'm
