sivach,
You may be correct eventhough I meticulously confirmed my settings with wolfe, publically
(see quote below).
I have read your posts in tsd and you have good posts and I have no reason to believe that you are not correct.
But why didn't you jump in with your discovery sooner? I notice there are many thousands of views here and many are silent...why is that?
I have set the profit to a static 5 bucks for now and disabled the TS, and will wait for wolfe to post tonight.
Hey this is testing and the nature of the game...Thanks again si....
and when using the default of 50%...no way could wolfe know, as the mirror would not have been revealed with the 50% setting....
ES
P.S. The test account got a nice bonus is the good thing! But we really should not use the progression reached...the TS would have taken us out a lot earlier. I was waiting to see if it would and had to intervene while I had the chance as it would not kick in. If I had the mirror of the settings then that would explain much.

So, this is about right.
Close_By_Profit & TSLoss_Percent are ignored when Use_Trailing_Stop=true
