And as a side note, I very much appreciate how much you guys have added to the software and the amount of advanced features the software has, but it would have been nice to know ahead of time that there was only one data feed that enabled accurate backtesting and that only 1/3 backtesting engines on sierra chart are even remotely accurate. I put in numerous hours backtesting and trying to perfect my algo to take live this coming Monday, and to find out today that the algo has been optimized and tweaked off phony backtest results is disheartening to say the least. With all due respect, what is the point of the two, bar based backtesting engines if both totally fabricate the profit making ability of your algo? Also, if you guys are well aware of the fact that this "simulate bid ask prices during replay" setting must be turned on manually for backtesting to work properly, why isn't a default that its turned on?
