The bar reached my target. Why was I stopped out?

When one bar reaches both, the stop fills first.

When a bar reaches both the stop and the target, the engine walks the 1-minute bars inside it to see which came first (E6). If finer data cannot tell, the stop fills (E7). The engine never picks the flattering answer, so a backtest errs on the side of caution.
