The trade I was talking about earlier did close successfully for 10 pips, although I got hit by the spread.

Aparsai, thank you for the reply. I looked back on the report you mentioned and yes, it did say MaximumRisk=0.1. I am not sure what the reason for this is, and I will run another backtest with the .01 setting to make sure it was right. The reason LotSize was changed is because I was running some tests of this system with static lot sizes in the beginning and never took that variable out. It is not utilized, and I have removed it from the program, as you can see is my last backtest. The reason the other variables were in there and are now out is because in the beginning I was using a LotOptimizer, but found the logic to be off, so I wrote my own. You will notice this in the latest backtest report also. The only variables and settings I am making use of in the forward test are:
MAPeriod=5;
Stop=10;
StopLoss=50;
Risk=0.02;
I have cleaned up the code and removed all unnecessary variables.
Like I said, I will repost the 1% risk backtest to make sure the results were not affected by the myterious setting.
Thank you for noticing this,
