Hi, it seems, there is something wrong in the software. I'd like to develop a strategie by using candlesticks. As you can see in the picture below, the backtest shows negative profits. But it should be positive, cause exit price is higher than entry price.
Can you help me?

Thanks Marko.

The trade profit was $1.65, but it appears that you're using $2 of commission.

Hi Cone, Ino, my commissions are from IB (0,005 per stock min. 1$). But in this case... I made a mistake. I must have switched position size from my defalut "percent of equity" to "fixed value". And thats clear... than it isn't working. Sorry !

Thank you for your quick answer!

$1 min - right. $1 for buying the position, $1 for selling it = $2.
