Hi Ton,

The grid is ordered by entry time not by ID. So you shoudn't expect the IDs to be in sequence.

Best Regards,

So backtesting is not first-come first serve?
My sequence of events is:
Tick 1: open buy & open Sell

Tick 2: Open Sell

Tick 3: Open Sell

So in backtesting I'd expect them to have id 1, id 2 and id 3 and haven ascending  entrytimes

Best rgds,

Ton

Hi Ton,

The ID is assigned based on the closing time of the deal, not the entry time. This means that the deal is assigned an ID as soon as it enters the History.

please change the columnname to what id it is (in this case historyID)
that's much more clear than having multiple columns with the name ID alls meaning an other id.
Furthermore in this overview historyid is of no use to me. if i want that sequences i'll sort on date. A position id would be much more helpfull.
