I didn’t want to go into specifics on the timings as it wouldn’t change the fact that the AutoTrade mode is making trade entries at points when the Backtest running the same script concurrently to the AutoTrade script in real time is not. That is the main point here, the two modes are giving different results, and from the variables I can see from the backtest graph function I can validate that the backtest is doing the right thing. I cannot see what is happening with AutoTrade and why the trade entry was made, but knowing that the script looks at the number of indicator closing values it must be that those indicator closing values are different to what i can see from the backtest mode. That said here is the specific example i gave with actual candle times, the script checks for certain conditions (6 of them to be TRUE) before a trade entry is made:

13:05:59

Backtest – 5 of the 6 entry conditions are met to enter into a trade. No trade entry however is made as the script requires all 6 conditions to be TRUE for that to happen

AutoTrade – have no visibility of what is happening at the end of the 13:05 min candle, but i expect that whatever it has calculated is different to Backtest, as on the open of the 13:06 candle there is a trade entry on my IG account, which makes me think that the 6th indicator which was FALSE in the backtest was probably calculated to be TRUE under the AutoTrade engine thus making 6 out of 6 conditions TRUE and thus entering into a position.

13:06:59

Bactest shows no entry based on the close of the indicators

AutoTrade has nn open position running

• 13:06:00 trade entry (I have no visibility as to why, but based on the Backtest I can see
