Does anyone know how the total number of trades can be added up incorrectly?? Profit trades: 160 + Loss trades: 408, should = 568, however total trades is showing 569?? There are no open positions either...

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Such situation happens when some trades are closed at breakeven, see attached screenshot.

A break even row would be a an excellent addition to the market info window.

At a glance we could see profit trades, loss trades, break even trades etc. It's a very useful stat to know after a series of back tests.

Thanks

I agree with Paul, if break even trades are not accounted for then for many users these results will not be accurate, as many use Break SL to secure against loss very often.
