The bug is fixed.

Thank you for the report. However the backtest of your Monte Carlo simulation is correct. The tester simple set the default list params.

Yes, certainly.

I have it in my To Do list for the next major release

Thanks also to you for the prompt support and for the great platform you have created.

I have just one additional wish concerning Monte Carlo: Very frequently, after I run the simulation with "Randomize indicator parameters", I have then big problem to find out what particular parameter is a bottleneck. Would it be possible to incorporate a "post-Monte Carlo" analysis tool that would help to find quickly the critical parameter - in the same way as the Strategy Analyzer tool in the original FSB?

Ok. Thank you for the report.

I'll find and #@@#!! it.

Yes, other tests seem to behave normally.

Here it is.

I think I succeed in reproducing the issue. According to my test it appears only when "Randomize indicator parameters" option is used. Are the tests normal using other simulations?

What is the performance shown on the Monte Carlo chart before running the simulations?

The performance before running Monte Carlo is in my first post.

Attached is the second Monte Carlo run (again 20 calculations performed) with indicator parameters set to minimum.

Set Indicator parameters variations to minimum and see the performance.

Monte Carlo calculated much better results than the original strategy

This is not a reason for an issue. Monte Carlo changes the market or trading behavior and the simulated conditions may be more suitable for your strategy.

You can check the simulations one by one and to determine which one of them produces better results.

Check also whether all the results are better or only some of them.

Check the spread and slippage values. The settings in the Monte Carlo options may be lower than what you have in the backtester.

Hello Mr. Popov,

when I analyzed one of my DAX M15 strategies, I noticed that Monte Carlo calculated much better results than the original strategy. It behaves similarly also in other timeframes and even with some other underlyings. What do you need to send from me to check this behaviour?
