Thanks for your help. Here are what I did - I start from scratch here and am repeating the steps while typing this message:

1. Open a new intraday chart ("CL-201703-NYMEX"). In the Chart Settings, set "Days to load" to 10, and "Graph Draw Type" to Candlestick Bars.

2. Enable Trade->Show Order Fills.

3. Add the "Three Line Break Chart" study, and set "Show Real Open" to "Yes". This would lead to the following clean chart:

4. Add the "Trading Example" study, set "Enabled" to yes, "Target Value" to 1 and "Stop Value" to 0.5.

5. Perform Trade->"AutoTrade System Bar Based BackTest". The following chart is resulted:

6. Now, I perform Trade->"AutoTrade System Replay BackTest" (which took much longer), everything becomes normal again:

Not sure why this happened. Thanks again.
