It possible that you have an open trade, did you also look at the
report to check this? I don't believe any open trades will be
exported to the CSV file while they WILL be included in the System
Test Report.
Tomasz, I would find it helpful if the Backtester Results Window
would display the Entry/Exit price along with the %Profit. Because
of the possibility of my own AFL code bugs, I like to visually check
several entry/exit values while developing the code to make sure the
buys and sells are where I want them. It's a bit of a nuisance to
have to export the results, bring up excel, and flip back and forth
comparing the graph with the buy/sell signals and the data in excel.
I know this can be done with the Explore and have coded Exploration
to do this, by filtering only the sell exits for a long system, but
making sure that the duplicates are removed just like the backtester
removes them is sometimes tricky (even using exrem) depending on what
you're trying to code.
