    Another day – another demo weird thing.

    I have a long only weekly strategy with one of the conditions for closing a trade being to sell if in profit at the close of the candle.

    I ran a back test and it can be seen that first of all (and I have reported this before with no answer yet) the trades are shown opening at the decision candle close rather than at the next candle open – and then it does not close when it should close as the trade is in good profit at the close of the weeks candle.

    I wonder if I keep looking will I find other trades that do the same? How are we supposed to use this demo platform for accurate testing of ideas!….. and yes before anyone asks it is on IG demo.

    I’m sure you will find others – that’s if you can get the backtests to actually run – mine have started to hang when loading.

    It’s like wading through treacle at the moment

    Been there, bought the t-shirt – sent the report in.

    Either shutting down the platform and starting it again has fixed the back test wrong results issue or someone at PRT or IG has fixed something as when I run the same test today the results are as I would expect them to be.
