Profit drop at end of strategy testing
-
When I run my strategy, the profit extremely drops, a huge loss at the end and then the strategy ends. I'm only using take profit, no stop loss. Is this normal in strategy testing?
-
Yes, this is normal. Any unclosed trades are automatically closed at the end and this drop means that they are unprofitable
-
I might not have something properly setup in backtesting. A trade is placed on 8-05-2014, then it is closed on 1-23-15 for a loss. All the dates before, the trade was properly placed and closed without problems.

I don't know what is going on over there. These dates mean nothing to me. I don't know you From-To backtest period, it could be anything. Give me more information...
