As soon as I test with a fixed stop the results are identical.

If you experience any discrepancy, please report it and we will investigate the case.

If you have a read through the post I made last night in the thread I created about MT4 data you will see I made a lengthy post about some very interesting results I found with EA’s created with trailing stops.

I have created many with trailing stops but the stops do not work as intended and result in big losses in backtesting/report in EA Studio.

EA Studio did not create not even ONE profitable strategy that uses the trailing stop

What do you exactly mean?
Are you saying that EA Studio does not generate strategies with Trailing Stop?
Or it generates strategies, but they do not show the same result in the MT tester?
Or they show the same result on MT Tester but do not make profit after that?
Or something else?

EA Studio did not create not even ONE profitable strategy that uses the trailing stop instead of the stop loss, and I´ve been using it for over half a year. All strategies that are profitable use a simple stop loss. So I also suspect something is not right with this feature.

It must be some other limitation that prevent the Generator to find a strategy. As a start, switch off the Trailing Stop. If it doesn't find strategies, switch off the Acceptance Criteria and Preset Indicators. You can also reduce the entry amount.

In my test the Generator found 100 strategies  with Trailing Stop for 1 minute.
