hello everyone!

I tried to translate my manual trading strategy in visual jforex and i am having issues with the strategy testing. Basically 1/3rd of the overall positions are closed with a stop loss of 0-1 pips, which basically ruins all the results and my faith in the automated trading.

here what i got:

I dont have any parameter or conditions set for the closing of the positions. i just set a standard 12 pips TP and 10 SL in the "open at market" block, so i don't understand why almost 40 positions are closed with 0 pips SL or not even close to 10. Also in the candlestick graphs those 0 pips SL are shown and it is really weird because there are no spikes or other weird happenings in the market whatsoever.. some times there are even 3-4 consecutive open and close with 0 SL in the timespan of 2-3 minutes.

thanks in advance to who will help me :roll:

Hi,

Thanks for the post and sorry for the delayed answer.
Can you please attach your strategy in vfs format to the post so that we can have a look ? (File > export >vfs)
In case you're unable to attach it, please send by email to "[email protected]" (To Amine) and I'll check it asap.
Thanks
