Backtesting differences between independant cAlgo instances
01 Apr 2016, 23:33

Deleted Cache and BacktestCache on both machines (noticed both needed to reload the tick data). Backtesting on my local machine with broker branded calgo (demo account) and on a remote machine with same broker (live account). Both testing on tick data. Anyone have some ideas on why these are so drastically different? Do some brokers provide different historical data for demo accounts? This doesn't happen in general, but from time to time there's various differences on the backtests.

(I did come across an older thread of a similar issue /forum/cbot-support/903 which is over 2 years old and doesn't seem to help)
