New charts updates and updates have majors regressions

Bug Reports

Subject: Bug Report and Feature Requests

Hello Team,

I would like to report several issues and suggest a few improvements for Forex Tester Online.

1. Target Stop & Break Even Defaults Are Not Saved

The default values for Target Stop and Break Even are not being retained.

  • Every time I reopen the order box, the settings revert to:

    • Activation: 2 pips

    • Trailing Distance: 0.5 pips

  • This requires manually re-entering my preferred values every time, which is inconvenient.

Suggested improvement:
Allow users to save custom default values, preferably within the chart or project settings, so these parameters persist across sessions.

2. Donchian Channels Display Incorrectly After Reopening a Project

When re-entering an existing project, the Donchian Channels occasionally display incorrectly.

  • The channel lines can extend vertically far outside the actual price range covered by the chart.

  • This appears to be a rendering or recalculation issue after loading the project.

Please investigate the indicator's behavior when projects are reopened.

3. Zoom Functionality Lacks Granularity

The current zoom-in and zoom-out behavior feels less precise than it used to be.

  • Zoom levels change in larger increments, making it difficult to find the desired chart scale.

  • Earlier versions seemed to provide much smoother and more granular control.

Suggested improvement:
Increase the number of zoom levels or make zoom adjustments more gradual.

4. Exit Optimizer Produces Misleading Results for Unprofitable Strategies

The Exit Optimizer appears to have mathematical or analytical limitations when evaluating losing strategies.

  • Results can be misleading when the underlying strategy is unprofitable.

  • Optimized exit recommendations may suggest improvements that are not statistically meaningful because the strategy itself lacks a positive expectancy.

Suggested improvement:
Consider adding safeguards, warnings, or alternative calculations when the tested strategy is overall unprofitable, so users can better interpret the optimization results.

Thank you for your time and for continually improving the platform.

How does this impact your experience?

    Hi @I A,

    Sorry,it’s not clear what exactly you meant regarding the Exit Optimizer, because there are no trades in the current project. If you could show a specific example, it would be easier to discuss.

    In general, if the project is loss‑making, the Exit Optimizer will try to choose a smaller loss, if possible. Sometimes it won’t succeed, and that’s normal. It means that your manual entries/exits are better than the uniform ones the optimizer tests.

    Actually trailing stop and move s/l to b/e doesn’t work after the update, sadly…

    One more thing it would be nice to be able to save the column setup for th open position board attached to the chart setting name as every new project we have to untick what we don’t look at. Thanks

      Hi @I A! Thank you for flagging this.

      Could you please record a short video of the first issue with the SL line, specifically how trailing stop and moving S/L to B/E behaves after the update? That will help us see exactly what's happening.

      And thank you for the suggestion about saving the column setup for the open position board with the chart setting name - we appreciate it.
