All graphing is done by the Backtest program. No indicators (graphing) of either in Backtest or in Paper running same program.
Example of a Graph command :
1
2
3
4
IfGraph1then
graph(((Gain)))Coloured(128,255,128,255)as"Gain"// 02-05-2018,PS. 05-01-2020,PS, ((( for easy replacing the active ones.
//// SOFT-GREEN (was WHITE, 255,255,255).
endif
The comment you see tells about me needing to comment-out the Graph commands for the Live/Paper environment, because they are not allowed there.

The black line is unimportant for this issue. But it would indicate maximum gain that occurred during this order (not taken).
The Grey line is a Trailing line similar to how PRT would show *and* use it (see red line in the 2nd attachment and more explanation below).
The Green line is the current Gain in “net” (netto) sense. It includes perceived Commission and perceived Spread. When the Grey line crosses over the Green line, the order will Exit. Difference with the normal PRT Trailing, is that this one can be made as “intelligent” as I am myself (which is limited). The intelligence is there to maximise profit per trade. All sorts of shapes can come from this (and you have seen a few by now). For fun, in the 3rd attachment quite a different shape, from the same “run”.
All lines fall to a virtual zero when the order Exits.
Before you ask, the Blue line is “up” when the order is allowed to Exit (take its gain).
I am seeing similar issue – Same code – trade placed at same candle. In live trade it closed partial position, while in running backtest, it did not. As per the code backtest is supposed to be correct, see below code snippet used for partial exit,
Obviously, I wanted it to exit only if 1 hr candle closes under the hourly supertred. It closed it on spike below supertrend. This should not occur as per the code.
