Ok, perhaps you have a delay built into the backtest you need to match
that in your exploration
eg 1 bar delay
PctChg = ( valuewhen(ref(sell,-1), Close ) - valuewhen(ref(BUY,-1),Close ) )/
> valuewhen(ref(BUY,-1),Close) * 100;
Then are your backtest set to buy and sell at close price, or another
price? If so then you need to use whatever you have set for the
backtest.
You have to match the backtest conditions in your exploration.
