# Why are the results on the “Create” tab sometimes different from the results on the “Backtest" tab?

The Create tab's computational summary opens a position and tracks the stock every time a technical trigger is satisfied. That means when one trade is open, another can open simultaneously.

The Backtest tab only opens a new position after an open position closes.

This will result in fewer trades on the Backtest tab, but a more rigorous view of the actual trading strategy.

You can view the trade details for either section by clicking on the back-test summar tile:

On the Backtest tab, that looks like this: ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/b73389a5-b202-4bf4-8df2-8c69e8edbb3b/Images/Documentation/image%2824%29.png)

If you click either of the above tiles, a details dialog box will open to display every trade in the back-test:
