Backtest Issue: Incorrect exit prices

Hi,

I finally got tickstory to run in Build 910....

Now I have another issue:

I.e. if the EA exits a trade, the exit price is not on the candle (so no actual price of the history) but above it.

Hence, all results are distorted...any idea how this can be fixed?

When I enable the "visual mode", can it be that the candles shown differ from the candles actually considered in the backtest?

Thanks so much, FF

Hi Fractalfreak,

Your exit price is going to be the next series of prices after you have triggered your trade. If this is at the end of the candle, it will be the price of the next candle. The visual back-test should be the same as the actual back-test, so I suggest slowly tracing through a trade to see what's happening.

Hope this helps.
