Hi,

Why is that, when I backtest my strategy, then there are 3 negative positions on my platform, and only 1 positive. And when I check the opening HTML, then there are 2 negative and one positive? It seems like my platform duplicates a position.
Sorry for low english.

Thank you!

We were unable to replicate or detect the problem from the screenshots. Could you please provide sample strategy that would render this result?

It's partial close of position, not duplicate.

See Event Log:

What should I do, to avoid the process shown before? Just to open one, only one position. I've set "pending amount=0" , to only have one movement. What else should have been set to avoid the opening of 2 positions?

Thank you!

Your strategy doesn't open two positions, but close one position in two steps. In this particular case it could be a historical tester bug (we are currently investigating this). But notice that position could be closed in few steps if there is not enough liquidity on the market or margin requirements doesn't met.

See "Execution process" and "Margin requirements" sections here: https://www.dukascopy.com/wiki/#Close_Order
