Hello I'm having a small issue with back testing. I'm back testing a trading system against the E-mini 5 minute intraday June contract (ESM3). I'm connected to the SC Historical Intraday Futures Data. For some reason, on just one day, the SC back testing system includes two trades after hours even though my chart is set to eliminate after hours data? All other days include just regular hours trades. Any idea on why this may be happening? Thanks |

So you are saying the Session Times in Chart>>Chart Settings do not include non-Day session hours.

Yes that is correct. The chart settings do not include non day session hours. It works perfectly on every other day but this one day? I've tried reloading the data but this after hours trade is always included. Very strange. Thanks for your help

And I wanted to add that I've back tested numerous times over the last several days and it includes this trade every time.

How are you concluding this? Can you post lines of the Fills in the from the Trade >> Trade Activity Log that shows a Date-Time outside of the Session Times in Chart >> Chart Settings. And let us know what the Session Times are set to.

We have looked into this. Each of these Flatten order actions was done when the chart was not replaying so the time shown is going to be the time the action was performed. If the chart was replaying, the Order Action Source would clearly indicate that. The quantity of 8 would have been based upon the actual Position Quantity at the time the Flatten was done. So it must have been 8. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users. Try to keep your questions brief and to the point.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding but this order shows up every time I replay the chart. Even if this was somehow done when the chart was not replaying would the trade not be removed when I say to clear the trade data for the symbol? If I replay the chart right now that trade will show up? Is there some way to clear this trade that I'm not aware of? Thanks |

That order is the result of the Flatten and Cancel cell: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/doc_SystemsAlerts.php#FlattenandCancelWorkingOrders It will not necessarily be removed because it depends upon the Trade Activity Source. That could either be Simulated or Replay/BackTest. And it could also be added after. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.
