Hello cTrader team.
Please fix the cTrader 5 version. Optimization and backtesting with m1 Bars.
I'm using cTrader 4.92 (from ICM) and cTrader 5.0.44.
The backtesting results when NOT using Visual mode and when using Visual Mode are totally different in cTrader 5.
When I use Visual Mode in backtesting I get the same results / equity curve on cTrader 4.92 and on cTrader 5.
This means that optimization and backtesting when not using Visual mode in cTrader 4.92 are correct. In cTrader 5 the results are not correct and are different.
This is because when I use Visual Mode in backtesting I get the same results / equity curve in both cTrader versions. cTrader version 4.92 and version 5.0.44.
Backtesting in Visual Mode gives accurate results. This means I have to optimize my cBots on the cTrader 4.92 to get accurate optimization results.

Hi,
It happens on any cBot in cTrader 5. Also, with the already built in “Sample RSI cBot”.
I am experiencing an issue with cTrader 5 when conducting a backtest using m1 bars in Visual Mode compared to non-Visual Mode, which produces vastly different outcomes. The results obtained in Visual Mode are accurate, and this discrepancy needs resolution. The optimization result using m1 bars is also inaccurate just like the backtesting result when not using visual mode.

Hi Mark,
Please share your cBot code and backtesting parameters and settings that will allow us to reproduce this problem.
Best regards,
