 In the above results, we have a starting balance of 0.01 BTC and an absolute profit of 0.00762792 BTC - so the `Tot Profit %` will be `(0.00762792 / 0.01) * 100 ~= 76.2%`.

 - ROI
-  - sells are compared to high - but the ROI value is used (e.g. ROI = 2%, high=5% - so the sell will be at 2%)
-  - sells are never "below the candle", so a ROI of 2% may result in a sell at 2.4% if low was at 2.4% profit
-  - Forcesells caused by `<N>=-1` ROI entries use low as sell value, unless N falls on the candle open (e.g. `120: -1` for 1h candles)
-- Stoploss sells happen exactly at stoploss price, even if low was lower, but the loss will be `2 * fees` higher than the stoploss price

 - Stoploss is evaluated before ROI within one candle. So you can often see more trades with the `stoploss` exit reason comparing to the results obtained with the same strategy in the Dry Run/Live Trade modes
 - Low happens before high for stoploss, protecting capital first
 - Trailing stoploss
   - Trailing Stoploss is only adjusted if it's below the candle's low (otherwise it would be triggered)
   - On trade entry candles that trigger trailing stoploss, the "minimum offset" (`stop_positive_offset`) is assumed (instead of high) - and the stop is calculated from this point
   - High happens first - adjusting stoploss
-  - Low uses the adjusted stoploss (so sells with large high-low difference are backtested correctly)
+  - Low uses the adjusted stoploss (so exits with large high-low difference are backtested correctly)
