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

An update on my situation:

1) I'm using two NEW instances now just in case there is some weird parameter I cannot find that is causing the problem.

2) I've deleted the chart data files and got all the "Date Range in File from" to match across all charts and both instances.

3) I've used the exact same chartbook file and global settings file (Sierra4.config).

4) I've "reload and recalculated" many times.

5) I've deleted and downloaded the chart data many times.

6) I've updated symbol settings, unchecked "Use Custom Symbol Settings Values".

Still the unmatched fills and prices continue to persist when using "Continuous Futures Contract - Date Rule Rollover, Back Adjusted" setting. I also start from the current contract as directed in the instructions.

IF I change the Continuous Contract List to "None" and test only one quarterly contract at a time, the backtest results match very closely. Maybe only one or two aberrations occur. It's only when I use continuous contracts do things go crazy.

If you open two instance and run a backtest, you'll see for yourself. If you don't see any backtest mismatching data, PLEASE tell me what you did.

I will PAY for the solution! Thanks! :)
