Post 5 is absolutely correct. Additionally, without us having a simple example to work with, we have no idea what is going on.

You need to establish a very clear procedures on your side to handle problems. Use a very logical step-by-step debugging approach. Start with something simple and then gradually add to it until you encounter a problem. It is up to you to clearly isolate the source of a problem. At this time we are not aware of any outstanding problems. We provide a very very solid custom study and trading system interface. It may not have all of the functionality some may want. And back testing is not really going to give you results that are the same as live trading, but it is most definitely solid and works as designed. And there definitely are no bugs which would cause any kind of stability issues.

Contemplating this more, we do believe the problem is in your code. It really does not make any sense whatsoever, that opening another chart is going to affect the back test results especially if you have Accurate Trading System Back Test Mode selected and evaluating on bar close. You should get a consistent result each and every time. What you are describing is indicative of memory corruption. Although all of this depends on what your trading is doing.

And if you do believe there is a problem on our side, provide us a simple example code to duplicate the problem along with steps.
