Hello,
Marcin somehow did not see the obvious - you have set non-zero
interest rate that's why you get such results
(interest rate is calculated from "remaining" money and
"remaining" money is different in "all", "short" and "long" columns
so clearly profit figures can sum the way you think). Set
"interest rate" in the Settings to zero and then you will get the
results
you were expecting.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko

backtest results
Hi terry,
I have been going back and forth with Marcin all day long....We simply can
NOT get it to function correctly.Not only that,if I run LONG trades only from
settings,I am still getting P&L from short trades under reports..
If I run short trades only,I am still getting p&L from the long trades
under reports..Even more bizzare is the same P&L number is poping up when
it shouldnt....Plus the net trades do not = short +long p&L...
The code was very simple and he has checked my settings and code..I will
send along some attatchments,but please bare with me..I am a programming
IDIOT!!!
Allan
