I have just been looking at the entries for an EA that I created, which showed unbelievable performance. When I examined the trades closely, all the long entries were entered at the low of the bar in a full backtest. This gives unrealistic performance that will never be matched in real trading. This really needs to be fixed urgently!

It looks like the issue was with the standard minute data used in SQX version of Algowizard. I have since imported tick data and it is working well.
