I am using a spreadsheet system for trading that uses attached orders. I have a target limit set at $1000 and trading 1 contract (100 ticks for CL). After running a backtest, on certain trades listed in the Trade Activity Report, the Runup amount is more than $1000, some are even more than $2000. When I look at the chart, the price never ran up that far before the trade was exited. Example: Entered 1 contract at price 45.20, on the chart the price ran up to 45.42 then reversed and was stopped out at 45.09 for a $210 loss. But the activity log shows Runup as 1320.00 Am I misunderstanding your meaning of runup? I am assuming it is the highest profit level achieved before the trade was exited. For the example above I'm thinking the runup amount should be 220. Please explain. |
