"Ghost" Orders displayed after Backtesting

The MT4 strategy tester has a button "open chart" which will display all the entries/exits as arrows connected by trendlines, which is really a nice feature.

The problem with this is that there are a lot of "ghost" orders displayed, which absolutely dont belong there.
When I visually check the backtest entries/exits its totally confusing, because I cant know which order is real and which is not until I check the order list.

This cant be problem with the EA itself because I get no errors in the log except these which seem to be normal when the price data is not 100% perfect:

21:55:02 TestGenerator: unmatched data error (volume limit 63 at 2009.11.20 22:15 exceeded)
21:55:02 TestGenerator: unmatched data error (high value 1.6494 at 2009.11.20 22:15 is not reached from the least timeframe, high price 1.6484 mismatches)

Anyway I get 90 % backtesting accuracy.

Also I tried various brokers, currencies, EA´s and even different computers where I installed Metatrader (latest version).
No matter what I try, there are always messed up orders on the screen (red circles).

When I hover over these wrong orders, I get an order number which cant belong there.
For example, the first wrong order on the screenshot in the red circle is labeled with ordernumber #37, the correct order in the blue circle has the ordernumber #16.
The "real" order #37 was executed 2 month later.

This is really confusing. Although it´s obviously a major bug, I wasnt able to google anything about this problem.. weird..

Could it be that you ever saved a chart template with the same name as the EA that you are testing? in this case it will load the template with all objects on it everytime an EA with that name is tested.

Indeed I had a tester.tpl in place, when I removed it, the ghosts were gone

I didnt even know that a template with the name of the EA loads automatically.
I only was aware of the tester.tpl which applies for all EAs.

Thank you so much.

yeah theres a few tricks to templates

when using tester, mt4 checks for a template with same name as ea, if that doesnt exist. it looks for one named tester
if that doesnt exist, it loads its plain ol chart

with a live chart, it looks for a template named default
if thats not found it uses its standard

with offline charts, it first looks for a template named offline
if that doesnt exist it looks for default
if thats not found it uses its standard

Almost correct, but offline charts ignore default.tpl, they only work with offline.tpl

oops, your correct
