Hi Mike,

Can you share your cBot code so that we can reproduce this behavior?

Best Regards,

This is an old bug which was reported in 2019.

This issue has never been resolved since it was reported. We are now 4 years later and still no fix on cTrader version 4.8.23.
I needed to optimize a client's cBot and ran into this bug today.
To make sure it's not my fault I grabbed the originally reported cBot (see originally reported issue) and tested it and saw that there is still a difference between Optimization and Backtest results. Exactly as it was reported in 2019.

Hi there,

The same symptom does not mean that it has the same cause. Better share cBot code and exact steps to reproduce.
