Do the individual trades match what it shows individually on the summary page? This could be a Ver 9 problem.

Martin,

The different trades are all over the map. From 7 trades with a w/l of 4/5 for a gain of 39% to  8 trades with a w/l of 1/7 for a loss of 91%.

I am using 8.0 and do not have an overall summary for all stocks in my list.

Does the entry and exit percentage gain or loss of one particular trade match the page with the graph on it?

Click to Highlight and "view"

Examine the entry and exit price

The formula to calculate a gain is - entry minus exit.  Divide this number by lowest number.e.g.. 8-10=-2/8= .25 or 25%

Now compare this to what MS system tester says on summary page. I assume you are using 9.
