Broker data could be the problem...... as could latency.... was the market busy at the time, did metatrader record any error for this entry was there a connection issue at the time.

Somehow we need to develop a detailed list of things we need to analyze discrepancies or errors so that when someone has a difficulty they can submit a complete package.

Thank you, this is a lot better!

Strat seems correct.

Well, about trader, shots about where and how it goes wrong. Trade details like you have for FSB above, then the actual bar data where one opens a trade and the other doesn't (is signal matching or not). I've experienced that if the test ends for the day, it is better to not close the trader straight away. Firstly update backtester's data, check the trade results. If there's something wrong, check the trader and corresponding bars.

What are log files saying, any errors? How many entry orders sent?

If the essential stuff checks out, it is a bit hard to diagnose the problem, it might be related to your broker as well. There's a possibility that Pro version has a bug, it's alpha after all. On the orher hand, Pro and FST are very similar...

If you have the option to run both FST and Pro, then do it.

You may have to research this carefully to be sure data is constant.

is that becasue FSB pro still alpha? would FST (not pro) be better?
