SET STOP$LOSS95
SET TARGET$PROFIT85
The first pic shows a backtest with 1 pip spread on the DAX. Stop loss 95, limit 85. The second pic shows the same system but with stop loss 96 and limit 84. I always get better results when I don’t define the spread. Any idea how there can be a difference between these two?
