Hi there,
 
To add to my previous question about how it is 
possible for the following trades to occur ? 
 
I do the backtest on 15minute data in that specific 
time frame...in the settings, it is also set to test on the 15 min 
....

Hallo all !Just a quick question.  I have 
created a backtest for some criteria.  I am using the stopTypeProfit 
and stopTypeLoss to control trades.  The SELL signal and COVER signals 
are:Sell = TimeNum()==170000; Cover = TimeNum()==170000; 
Thus, if the trade is not stopped out vie a profit target or a 
stoploss and it is still open at 17H00 it will close the position and 
take what is on the table or in the rubish bin :-)What I ahve 
noticed during the backtests is that there are many transactions that were 
not closed by any of the above criteria...it would appear as if the profit 
nor the loss has been met, and a new signal is given in the mean time, it 
would close the existing position.Is the true or am I doing 
something wrong here ...Kind regards and thanks in advance !Louw
