[amibroker] Walk Forward Issue

Hi
I recently tested a trading system but got some strange results from the WF test. The WF process used exhaustive optimization.
An extract from the results (too large to reproduce in full) is:-
Item    Profit    No. Trades
IS1     533          1
OOS1    1126         2

IS2     474          1
OOS2    -537         2

IS3       43         1
OOS      784         2

In two cases the OOS results are better than the preceding IS results. Though a little surprising,this is quite plausible, because the time periods differ.
However,the IS2 profit is much poorer than the OOS1 profit, and this is a worry since exhaustive optimization is used, and the time periods are the same. Can anyone offer an explanation? Would it lie in the way profit is handled when a trade is not completed by the end of the selected period?

Thanks
Brian
