The issue is that during a Bar Based Back Test the Date-Time of the order fills was using the current time for historical daily charts, and that was causing problems with the Order Fill matching and therefore the Position calculations. This is a recent issue. Additionally, in order to improve performance during a back test, Trade Activity other than order fills was being filtered out of the Trade Activity Log, but that prevents users from being able to have a clear understanding of the trading activity of their trading system and knowing the source of the orders. We always say it is important to look at the source of an order but you could not during a bar based back test. So that filtering is now removed. We are releasing version 1818 in about 20 minutes.
