Shane, your explanation is clear. That is expected behavior for the reports. The point is that the strategy report and trading report are used for different purposes.

Henry, What is your target for releasing MC 8.8 production version? November or December? Thanks.

MAtricks, the fact that Bar Magnifier was turned on does not change the backtesting results in this particular case.

You're not missing anything.. MC is extremely flawed with all floating orders. Limits orders are much worse.

Henry MultiСharts

You hit on a big issue I think that has been pointed out with backtesting limit orders (I reviewed the most recent release and I don't believe it was fixed).

I guess this follows on this topic so I'll post it here.. When turning on FILL LIMIT ORDER WHEN TRADE GOES BEYOND LIMIT PRICE BY [x] POINTS, the limit orders are executed on X "points" in a back-test which is wrong. The execution price should not change, it should just be verified that the price di...
