Backtest: position.NetProfit at close not matching History.Last().NetProfit
18 Feb 2024, 22:57

Hello,

I noticed that, when backtstesting, position.NetProfit values ( inside Positions_Closed() ) are not matching with those in the history table ( History.NetProfit ).

I checked this with 2 different brokers. Same outcome.
Instrument: US500

Hi ncel01,

Can you share an example cBot that allows us to reproduce this?

Best regards,

Hi Panagiotis,

Can you please first try to check this by just adding a Print(o.Position.NetProfit) inside Positions_Closed()?

I need to create a whole cBot sample for this. I'll do it in case the above is not working with you.

Just let me know.

Panagiotis,

Please use an index as well and let me know.

I've noticed in the past that, unlike forex, similar issues applied to indices.

Hi ncel01,

Understood. The root cause of the problem is the same as in the other thread. It will be resolved in an upcoming update.

Hi Panagiotis,

That's what I thought.

Thanks for confirming!
