Hello Adam,
thank you for writing in the Forum. Appreciate you have attached pictures which makes it easier for me and the others to see.
Now, first of all, keep in mind that this software is coded for many years now and thousands of users are using it. All bugs and mistakes were fixed long ago. Of course, its a code, there could be something always.
Now here is what you are missing:
1. The SL and TP are generated according to the Historical data you have and the acceptance criteria you have selected to use. From my experience, I saw that it does not really have to be an SL smaller then TP. I know the “old trading” rule for having Sl 3 times smaller than the TP, and many people realize it was quite wrong when using the EA Studio backtester. Of course, you can find some strategies with such SL and TP but not too many.
Now, what I see on your picture is normal. It will always happen that the price will go towards the TP and turn the other way around. But the SL and the TP are set based on many trades(not only one situation that you have in your case).
Regarding the trailing SL, you can set it when generating the strategies:
If you select to use it, all the EAs will be with a trailing SL.
2. In the second picture, you are looking at two different EAs.
On the right up corner, you have the number of the EA that is attached to the chart. In this case, it is 01843265, not 99186720.
So for me, I do not see anything wrong in the pictures you shared. Make sure you look at the right EAs.
Regards,
