Post From: Regarding Replay Chart Feature in Combination with Trading System Based on Alert Condition

Regarding setting up a "Trading System Based on Alert Conditions" study to automatically enter and exit trades. Works exactly how I want it to, code is solid. Ran it live and exported those results to a spreadsheet. Then I went through and tested all 4 of the replay modes ("Standard Replay", "Calculate Same as Real Time", "Accurate Trading System Back Test Mode", and "Calculate at Every Tick/Trade"). I logged all of these results in the same way. The issue I'm having is that none of the 4 replay modes gave a result that matched up with live. Both the number of trades and final P/L for the time period I'm testing were VERY different on all four replay modes ("Accurate Trading System Back Test Mode" and "Calculate at Every Tick/Trade" matched each other). Why is this the case and how can I get a result that matches the live result exactly?? Additionally, why does replay speed affect the results when replaying a time period while having the "Trading System Based on Alert Conditions" automatic trading set up? Does CPU speed affect these results at all? |
