Post From: Fills not matching old instance after moving algo to new instance of Sierra Chart.

The main thing to check for why you are having a difference in the time of the order is the "Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Common Settings >> Intraday Data Storage Time Unit". Make sure this is set the same between the two systems, and you probably want it to be 1 tick.

Thanks for the suggestion. One was set at 1sec, the other 1tk. I changed them both to 1tk and ran the backtest again. Same problem. :(

What's interesting is the algo is supposed to put a limit order down at an exact spot. Where the "new" instance is placing the limit is not correct at times and then at times it is. The EntryDateTime however is never matching.

Anything else to check or do you think this might be an issue with the algo referencing something on the old instance that it isn't on the new?

Thanks!
