Sample Trend Algo - Not responding to Stop Loss and Take Profit Addition

Hi all,

Very new to this so please excuse any newbie error committed.

I have altered the sample Trend cBot by copy and pasting the Stop Loss and Take profit section from another cBot, and I've also attempted to add additional parameters to fine tune the bot.

While the new parameters now appear on the Parameters tab, the SL and TP figures appear to be getting ignored during Optimisation and Backtesting.

The optimisation tab will give me a set of Pass parameters, with say a 5 tick stop loss, but when backtesting the losses will be into the 100s of ticks - clearly something isn't adding up, although the build button gives me a green light.

Can anyone help?

Cheers,

Tom
