Hello I'm pretty new to Sierra Charts and im trying to use the replay function to see how my strategy would work on the past. More specifically using the MACD with slightly different values as my entry. What im trying to do now is this. For the past month i've been using tradingview where i would track the macd alerts on lets say SPY on the lets say 15 minutes chart. Now im having all the alerts for the past month for this symbol and more importantly the exact minute and even second it did trigger. Now using the replay function on Sierra Charts and the MACD with the exact same values im getting slightly different results. Some alerts trigger at exactly the time they triggered in reality, based on my tradingview alerts log, some other though are off ranging from some minutes to even many hours. I can take screenshots comparing the 2 logs if it helps

You are making a comparison between two different systems with possible differences in the MACD implementations and also possible differences in the data itself. We can not do anything about these differences, nor do we have any way to know what the differences may be. We give all the information about how our calculations are performed for you to be able to know exactly what is occurring within Sierra Chart.
