Large Trade - Trade Results Questions In Backtest
-
In this sample backtest, there is a 38k profit trade which shouldn't be possible if my %risk of balance stop is 1% and the TP is 2:1 of the entry to stop on a 100k starting balance. With a 2:1 potential profit, the most this should be over the course of the test is a 5k profit in a single trade if the balance gets up to 250k. I set the lots up to 10, but I thought it would simply not execute a trade if the risk is over 1% of the account balance? What am I missing here?
The only thing I could think of was if I was in a trade on a Friday and it had a huge gap on a Monday? Is there a way to set it to close all trades by a certain time ? Any other suggestions?

Not sure, only thing I can suggest is set levels to a set amount of pips, check the values and the distance on backtest, ctrl will give you the cross hair to drag between levels. Personally I would use a process of elimination, so remove blocks/what a block s doing and see if problem disappears, then I know where it is and what to test to fix.
