Hello Sierra-Team, I have created a small automated trading program via spreadsheets. But a backtesting in replay mode gives completely wrong results, because bid and ask are not updated (sometime it takes 3-4 candles). I have read the hint that tick-data are needed here: Auto Trade System Back Testing: Using Actual Bid and Ask Prices During Back Test But no matter what I set, I get a completely wrong result (40 ticks difference!!). What is wrong here ? Or is there a setting where simply the "current price" is used when touching the LMT order ? Without an approximation any function concerning automated trading is useless if it cannot be tested properly (without running 2 months sim mode in realtime). Used Sierra-Chart Version: 2088 / package 5 Many thanks for the help. |

We want you to use Sierra Chart version 2092 and see if it resolves the issue: Software Download: Fast Update But if at times, there is a problem with the bid and ask data from the exchange not being up-to-date, then what we recommend doing instead is changing the Intraday Data Storage Time Unit to 1 Second: Data/Trade Service Settings: Intraday Data Storage Time Unit (Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Common Settings >> Common Settings) Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Thank you. With the update it seems to work now. Unbelievable, so simple... and I´ve tried different settings for some Hours also this one which you mentioned above and which is described here: Trade Simulation: Trade Simulation Accuracy and Bid/Ask Prices During Replays |
