I experienced the same issue with the optimization results showing different (more) profits than the actual single tests and different drawdown, sharpe ratio and all the other values.
For me the problem was starting the optimization on a Saturday, when the markets are closed and it looks like my broker is feeding different tick values into MT5 over the weekend. Once the market opened I reoptimized and then the single test are showing the same profits and values as the optimization list.
I don't know why the tick data is different though, maybe someone has more knowledge and can shed some light on this issue..

No worries.

Thanks.

In the Current version of MQL5, there is a function called OrderCalcProfit() that does this job of calculating potential profits or losses for hypothetical scenarios.
Here is the link, in case someone else is interested https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/trading/ordercalcprofit

@VHV-Profit-Masters
This isn't what was asked, the first video is just writing the constant/variable by hand again, the second is only using blocks that are the same on MT4 and MT5, anything that reads trade is MT4 and won't change to position upon converting.

@josecortesllobat the only way I know of doing this is to down load the MQ file, then import it back in to FX, then delete any unnecessary blocks. This won't work to convert from MT5 to MT4 though.

@fxDreema - I really wish there was a Risk % of Equity option that could be used in other blocks. I'm developing an EA and want to have an option for a "Signal Mode" so instead of trading it just alerts the user on what the details of the trade are, lot size included. This can be done using formulas but I'm using a price-based stop loss and not pip based so it just makes things so much more complicated than they need to be. You already have something that can calculate this, why isn't it available in other blocks?

OK @miro1360

THANK YOU SO MUCH for helping us to solve our issues with your knowledge about the builder.

Hi fxDreema

I am not sure if the problem is something related to fxDreema. I will keep you in touch if I find anything that could clarify this issue.

Thanks

Hello fxDreema

Thanks for your answer. Now I understand better the behavior of the "Trailing Stop" block.

So, if I have a TS block which is working properly and I have a condition that states: if the price reaches one level, the "modify stops" block move the SL to this level. Should the TS work as it was doing before but from that level?

Hello fxDreema

Your help is very useful.

I don't know what it happens but after an update released some days ago, now it is working as expected.

The MT5 update was the build 1687.
