The MT4 strategy tester has a button "open chart" which will display all the entries/exits as arrows connected by trendlines, which is really a nice feature.
The problem with this is that there are a lot of "ghost" orders displayed, which absolutely dont belong there.
When I visually check the backtest entries/exits its totally confusing, because I cant know which order is real and which is not until I check the order list.
This cant be problem with the EA itself because I get no errors in the log except these which seem to be normal when the price data is not 100% perfect:
21:55:02 TestGenerator: unmatched data error (volume limit 63 at 2009.11.20 22:15 exceeded)
21:55:02 TestGenerator: unmatched data error (high value 1.6494 at 2009.11.20 22:15 is not reached from the least timeframe, high price 1.6484 mismatches)
Anyway I get 90 % backtesting accuracy.
Also I tried various brokers, currencies, EAīs and even different computers where I installed Metatrader (latest version).
No matter what I try, there are always messed up orders on the screen (red circles).

When I hover over these wrong orders, I get an order number which cant belong there.
For example, the first wrong order on the screenshot in the red circle is labeled with ordernumber #37, the correct order in the blue circle has the ordernumber #16.
The "real" order #37 was executed 2 month later.
This is really confusing. Although itīs obviously a major bug, I wasnt able to google anything about this problem.. weird..
