Hi, I am back-testing an intra-day strategy and noticed during replays that when I enter different values in seconds for the "Enter Processing Steps in seconds" I get very different results. The strategy is coded and running on a 3 renko chart eco-system(if it is relevant) Config-1 - Replay Mode - "Calculate Same as real time" - Processing Steps in seconds - 1 seconds - Result -170 points on NQ for a random day Config-2 - Replay Mode - "Calculate Same as real time" - Processing Steps in seconds - 60 seconds - Result -2 points on NQ for the same day above Questions - Is that expected? I had a look at the documentation and couldnt figure out how to come upon a value for processing steps. - I ran the strategies with "Accurate Trading System testing back test mode" with 60 seconds processing step and that gave me results inline with Config-1 above. Is "Accurate Trading System testing back test mode" the recommended way to backtest to achieve a real time execution instead of "Calculate Same as real time" mode? If so, what are guidelines for entering a processing step please? I hope I didnt make a mess of explaining that. Thank you in advance! Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-05-24 12:58:06
