The data refining function removes the close-open gaps between the bars. It moves the current bar Open price towards the previous bar Close price.

In a 24x7 market the price should flow smoothly  (except in a fast market) and gaps are unusual. I've noticed gaps appears in some brokers' data especially in the small time frames 1 - 5 minutes even in a slow market. It seams the problem is in the broker's software.

The usage of "Data refining" function is up to you. It is switched off by default. It can affect the test results when the strategy includes indicators that use the true range or the Opening bar price.

About your strategies, they do not use any type of loss limitation. This is very risky. Try adding  a "Permanent Stop Loss" or make the strategy reversible (Set  the opposite direction signal behaviour to reverse or close).
