In post 10, you are apparently only pointing out inconsistency with timestamps.

This is meaningless. And it has to do with the fact that there is other data in the Trade Activity Log, which is accumulating as you are changing the trade account, and timestamps need to be unique so this is why the milliseconds are incremented to avoid conflicts.

There are no profit/loss discrepancies in our testing. None at all. So after this entire thread, what have you proven here? We have not identified any fault here in Sierra Chart. If there is, will take care of it.

Therefore you can understand, why we are very assertive to users at times. When we know there is not a problem we are going to be very clear about that. And there is no problem. We simply cannot identify any issue.

Obviously the original issue is an inconsistency with the submitted orders, and Profit/Loss. Millisecond timestamps differences are meaningless.

So once again as we have said time and time again check your system if it is giving different results. Our example trading systems are not. We do not know why you are having an inconsistency with yours assuming you are with back tests.

Now while looking into this, we did make a small performance improvement in 1726, and made absolutely certain there is 0.000000% potential for any variation.
