# Missing Trades

> Why some expected trades do not appear in the backtest.

## Why trades may be missing

Trades may not appear because:

* conditions didn’t align on candle close
* schedules blocked entries
* indicator logic differs from expectations

***

## Candle-close evaluation

Most strategies evaluate logic:

* at candle close
* not intrabar

This can exclude visually obvious setups.
