Hi SC,

I’m trying to add a $250 TakeProfit and $250 StopLoss to “Spreadsheet System for Trading” via Cells J80 and J81.

It will be used to trade the futures symbol “ES” whose tick value is $12.50 per 0.25 points (meaning 5 points= $250)

I entered the number 5 into Cells J80 and J81, then ran a backtest against ES and the results showed $250 StopLosses and $250 TakeProfits. I then ran the backtest again (without changing anything, as far as I can tell) and the Stoplosses and Take Profits were completely diffrentd (they were random intervals of $12.50, usually between $12.50 and $100)

Any idea why this is happing?

I guess I may have changed a setting somewhere without realizng it, but can’t figure out how to change it back.


Thank you!
