Dear cTrader,

Is the Fitness function in cTrader Optimization working correctly? 

It appears that it is prioritizing the Passes that caused the trading account to break on the first position in Fitness. 

Passes that successfully completed without issues are not displayed within the top 20 Fitness passes, making it difficult to assess the Equity Curve.


(Is this issue related to the starting capital balance? Does this problem occur when the starting capital is lower than 1000 EUR/USD/GBP, etc.?)
