Maybe that is coming from missed History Data or there are trades open on your specified End Date.
This is often happens when testing EA's. If there are trades open and there are not more valid data,
the tester will close the open positions which are mostly in loss.
Hope that maybe helps

It's a big help, thank you :) My data ran out and so all open positions were closed on stop. Will re-do the test but first I am checking with David (author) to make sure that the data is in sync with the GMT offset for the news filter.

Hi,
Fine that I could help you :).
When such things happen please also have a look at the journal every time. I had also sometimes that some ea's display. Close orders cause demo ends.
In such case i change the end date for testing to some that a demo ea can handle.
The only thing i worried about this ea is a huge draw down.
What is the difference between this EA and Gegatrade Pro?
Obvious difference is that GegaTrade uses martingale and GegaTrend does not. Depending on which side of the fence you belong, one could argue that grid is much safer than martingale because the lot sizes don't get ramped up. With grid the lot sizes remain the same and with marty they escalate often quite rapidly. Marty has much higher risk in terms of blowing up your account. Of course, if the risk is carefully managed it can also return bigger profits. I like that Gegatrade pro does hedging - that is a cool safety feature but overall I think that grid could be the less stressful option depending of course, on your appetite for risk. Watch both of them run in the tester in visual mode and you will notice the big difference

Well explained Aussie
Not forgetting the News WatchDog, which is the most important part
EURCHF doesn't appear to do that well in the back test? Please check
AUDUSD Crashes??
