I just cloned it and ran a backtest, two potential causes is max trades for a free account in the backtest (I remmeber hearing about this because when I'm running this on my account its making it farther than your attached test)? As well as you dont have a filter to only open one position at a time so it keeps adding as long as the conditions are true which is hitting a margin call a lot. Also mine just errored out saying max memory used.

Sorry do you know how to put that filter on to have only one position open because when I attempt to do it the backtest only fulfills 3 or 4 trades over the course of a year did I do something wrong.
William Patterson
Well its very rare for a pair to be > 100 pips from its 5 day average, that may be the case.
Bill McCabe
i changed the difference and it is still only making 3 trades

You have written self.Portfolio["EURUSD"].Invested == False as a condition for entering an order. From what I can tell, there's no way it's going to get back to that state (because there's no logic to exit the position when being Invested).
