Re: More weirdness

It appears you are running this system on a stock.  You are trading 100
contracts.  If your slippage and commission were $14.00 and you made .25 on
the trade, you lost $13.75/cntr.  Times 100 contracts is a loss of $1375.
Try setting your Slippage and commission to something more reasonable like
.20 instead of $100.
