Latest revision as of 17:12, 25 June 2024

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.
