      I know this is not an FXDreema issue but I figured you may understand how the tester works.

      Any idea why these entries would be so far outside of the candle?

      I had done a system on Friday that tested well but after the market closed I went back in and tested the same system, same pair, same 4hr chart and the results were completely different...total loss rather than an 400% profit.

      Are these to problems related?

      Is it because the market is closed and my broker may have different backtest data when the market is closed?

      This has me baffled.

        Because the spread is too big. Buy opens at Ask, Sell opens at Bid. The bars are made of Bid prices only. Ask is always above Bid, but it's hidden. Make the spread 1.5 pips and everything will be more natural 🙂
