Customers notice a change in strategy performance results after some events in MultiCharts, for example when comparing backtesting and live trading results or comparing 2 charts' strategy calculation results.
The following events when a strategy is recalculated (backtested) should be taken into consideration:

  • MultiCharts is closed and restarted.
  • Auto trading is turned on.
  • Any setting from Strategy Properties window is changed and OK is clicked.
  • Any setting of any signal in Format Signal is changed and OK is clicked.
  • Any setting of the chart is changed and OK is clicked.
  • Chart is reloaded.
  • Chart is copy-pasted (the strategy is recalculated on the copy of the original chart).
  • Any signal applied to this chart is re-compiled in the PowerLanguage Editor.
