DislikedHello traders, Can someone please explain what's the reason for the failures at the end of your strategy test results? I believe they happen because of the closes at stops. So does not that mean if we close our positions we will face with huge losses no matter how much we gained till that time? In TroyDiane's example, he gained lots of money but at the end his capital diminished from 14000 to as low as 600 dollars when he closed all positions at the end. He had many many losing positions open and we see them as soon as we close all the positions....Ignored

This large floating loss is caused when a trend occurs and price moves more than about 30-50 pips away from the last order. The dangling orders have not had their TP hit, so continue to draw down, and the TP's don't move down with price anymore. They are fixed in place.
It's a bit hard to see on the strategy tester because it always zooms in on the current price, but if you zoom out, you will see lot and lots of open orders.
What you're seeing at the end of your graph are these open orders closing and the negative equity applied to your balance.
