I have my backtest stop settings as follows:

Maximum stop loss 
Exit at trade price only(0)
point profit 30
Re-entry delay 0

Profit Target
Exit at trade price only(0)
point profit 30
Re-entry delay 0

The others are disabled.

My question is when I run my backtest, I show a (short profit) that 
changes. The profit was $3200 last night. Then 2 bars later, the 
profit is about $5900. 

I don't understand how this works. I know that there was a drop in 
the price of about $3 during this time. Yet, it seems that as long as 
the profit at the end of a bar is higher than the previous bar, the 
trade in not made. It seems to be looking at the future. 

Please explain how these setting actually work.

Thanks,
Tom
