How does the backtester come up with a net loss of (6015.37),when it appears that the long trades netted $7695.35 while the short trades only lost (5534.03).I would think that I shoild have a net profit of 1679.98....How can this be???Thank you!!! For the record,much more bizzare things are happening.For instance,I have selected in settings "LONG" trades,and in the trade reports,no short trades are entere,but I do have a SHORT P&L in the reports.. Here is a copy of reports All trades Long trades Short trades Initial capital 200000.00 200000.00 200000.00 Ending capital 193984.60 207695.35 194465.97 Net Profit -6015.37 7695.35 5534.03 any help deeply appreciated Allan Please note that this group is for discussion between users only.
