I will watch for it, most of the time my machine is unattended, it is only by chance that I see these...

Please attach a single strategy and stats where you thing there is an error. If I reproduce it, I'll fix it in minutes.

I remember when this function first appeared, I made sure it reads out correct values, and to me numbers added up perfectly.

It appears that there is no error here.

Days returns the whole count of days passed.
TotalDays returns whole and fractional days.

For example TotalDays returns 125.17 days, Days will return 125.

My initial intent was to measure only whole tested days. Probably that was the reason to use Day function.
It also includes weekends (intentionally).

Please post stats data of strategies you think is not calculated properly.

You are right!

private void CalculateProfitPerDay()
{
    TestedDays = (DataSet.Time[DataSet.Bars - 1] - DataSet.Time[Strategy.FirstBar]).Days;
    if (TestedDays < 1)
        TestedDays = 1;
    MoneyProfitPerDay = (MoneyBalance(DataSet.Bars - 1) - Profile.InitialAccount)
                                             / TestedDays;
}

.Days must be .TotalDays

Thank you!!!!

Note the 'Profit per Day' does not appear to be calculated properly.

I just started a generated strategy...... I have not noticed this before....
