The candles of the next day don't start where the candle of the previous day closed even though the portfolio should be flat overnight.
I'm new here, so I might be doing this incorrectly, but my understanding of this code is that I have scheduled the algo to buy some SPY 10 min after the market opens and sell it all 15 min before the market closes. When I check the trade log after the backtest, this seems to be the case, but still the daily candles don't pick up where they left off.

Is there a way I can manually check the opening and closing equity of each day after the backtest is over? I just want to set my mind at ease.

One way is to create an event at the start and end of each day to log the opening and closing equity.

That is a great idea! Thank you!

Please keep in mind that price logging is forbidden.
You can log a couple of prices to set your mind at ease, but please avoid extensive price logging.
