Hello
I have been exploring the creation of R:R 1:1 EAs with high win rates. The generator has been great at creating some promising ones, with high minimum trade counts and win rates of 60%, and sometimes even 65%+. For example USDCHF, M5, with 1 entry and 1 exit criteria and a 20pip SL and 20 pip TP. However sometimes when I check the journal I see trades which have closed before the SL or TP has been hit and I don’t know whether they would have become wins or losses. Does anyone know why this might be? I thought perhaps it could be because price hits the exit criteria before it hits SL or TP, if that is the case, can i disable the exit criteria so that I just have an EA where a trade is opened at an entry point and then either hits the SL or TP? Or is it an issue in my data? Any advice greatly appreciated, check out positions 9 and 20 in the attached screenshot to see what i mean.
Thank you!
