Hello,

In testing a Spreadsheet system, I'm noticing that certain trade exits are being recorded that far exceed my child orders for both targets and stops. I have the target set to 20 ticks, but profits will run on for over 100 ticks in some cases. Similar results occur on the stop side. It only seems to be happening in about 20% of the trades, roughly. Do you know what I can do about this?

Thanks!
