Different backtesting results on two PC
23 Oct 2022, 22:20


Hi,

I have two different backtesting results on two Pc's:

a) with AMD e2-900 cpu about 1700% over 5 year testing tick data,

b) with AMD Ryzen 5900x about 2200%.

All setups are identical, checked and calculated few times.

My suspect are cpu avx or sse instructions, anybody have this problem ?

Or maybe tick data is different due corruption of integrity ?

Best Regards,

PN

Hi there,

From my experience, there is an obvious mismatch between your setups that you are missing. Happened to me many times :) Usually is in front of your eyes. Blaming the CPUs is a bit far fetched at the moment. Make sure you are running the same versions of cTrader. Then you could try a clean installation of cTrader on both machines to make sure nothing is cached.

I found reason. On e2-900 I tested on real account from FXpro, 

I make some tested on 5900x machine with real not demo accounts, and I get almost identical results like on e2-900.

Fx Pro real : 1730%

IC Markets : 1780%

Thanks for help.PN
