Hello, I don't know what you guys at Sierra Chart have done, but you have ruined the backtesting in Version 2078 and 2079. I am used to using AutoTrade System replay backtest, but now every time I run it..it runs instantly and gives a different result each time. After checking, its not executing the trades how they are supposed to. Please fix this!! Another new feature you added to Manual Replay section is "Replay in Real Time". What is this? It doesn't work properly and shows inaccurate backtesting results. Also, next time don't force us to update if you haven't performed quality check! I was forced to upgrade from version 2074 to 2078, which as mentioned above is broken. Please undo all backtesting changes you have made since 2074 and release a fixed new version.

Another issue I have noticed, is that on the 2nd System when I connect to SC Data - All Services and have Support for SC Data Feed unchecked, I get the current quotes delayed but the current bar at the right date/time, when I start SC. Best is to stop the current quotes, as it doesn't align with the bars. |

but now every time I run it..it runs instantly We are not observing this, but we will restore the prior Replay Mode when using this command:Trade Menu: AutoTrade System Replay Backtest (Trade menu) What you describe in post #2 is expected, under the condition where the historical data is authorized for real time based on the fact that you have a funded trading account.

Yes please do. To confirm, I have tested the "Auto Trade System Replay Backtest" on Version 2078 and 2079 on 2 different computers. They both are showing the same behaviour: running instantly and providing different results. They don't even match the order execution times. On the same computer, I run the earlier versions prior to 2078 and they run fine. So it's something you guys have done. Also, in manual replay mode, the "Calculate same as real-time" seems to be a new feature, but this also doesn't work as expected. Your "Accurate Trading System Back Test Mode" is more accurate. If am happy to do a remote session with you to show your the results. |

Same thing happened to me also... Tried to revert back to 2077 version with no effect. Also, sometimes I cannot find a symbol in trade activity log drop down menu for the security I did backtest for... |

Also, sometimes I cannot find a symbol in trade activity log drop down menu for the security I did backtest for... This is because there were no order fills. Or the list has exceeded the limit.
