    Can you give more detail? Different in what way?

    If you are using an odd time frame then this can result in different results depending on the exact time that a back test is started.

    The good news is that both were profitable!

    I can only think that it must be something in the code that allows different decisions to be made at some point and then the trades get out of synch so no two runs are the same. Is there MTF in the strategy? Maybe sharing the code would help someone work out why the two runs are different.

    Could it be that the 2nd curve starts 1 hour later (07:00 than the 1st curve (06:00)?

    With and without tick by tick mode? Not the same spread or fee applied?

    Actually it is a same template I used over one year with same conditions (spread, tick by tick), but result seem random between the 2 photo I attached. It never happen before last Saturday.

    Today, does the result of the backtest is “normal” or “different”?

    By looking at the screenshots you provided, I can see that the second backtest starts with 1 hour difference and depending of your conditions, it seems normal to me that the results between the twos are different?

    Try by adjusting the same exact time/schedule for start and end and see how it goes?

    Well ok, that’s weird 😯

    I don’t know what happen here and it seems not related to code apparently.

    Please send a technical report in the platform and add a link to this topic in your message.

    I got the same problem. It is not the same number of trades. Some trades are missing.

    Yes and 3 of your best trades … judging by the difference in  Average Gain / Trade!?

    When I start from the beginning, from a fresh chart, I got the smaller number of trades. When I just make a update, nothing is change, I got more number of trades. I have make a few test its seems to be random.
