There's a bug in the calculate every tick backtest where it records an exit below the actual possible range of where an exit could have happened (and incorrectly so). It may be based on incomplete or inaccurate ask/bid data.

First screenshot, the setup showing the MIT target order where it should, more or less, exit (given it's MIT).

Second screenshot showing the exit a single frame later, indicating the exit was a few ticks below the actual range of the bar.

And a third screenshot showing another bug: it shows an entry but no open position. This is after I let it sit for a few minutes while trying to write out this support request. https://share.getcloudapp.com/QwulQZXn

We do not look at screenshots from other sites. You need to attach them here.

Anyway:

We want you to update to the latest version:
Software Download: Fast Update

And then enable this option:
Chart Settings: Always Simulate Bid and Ask Prices During Replay (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu)

We do not know what this is about.
it shows an entry but no open position.
For security reasons we do not look at screenshots from other sites.
