			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>There was a bug with the LTF (longer time frame) indicators - incorrect &quot;Use previous bar value&quot; option. As a result, some strategies using LTF showed unrealistically higher result from the backtest. This bug was fixed on the beginning of May 2015.</p><p>If you reexport your EA with the newest FSB Pro version it must show&nbsp; equal results in both FSB and MT testers. If the discrepancy still persists, please report.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Hi there</p><p>A strategy created on 2015-03-02 tested on FSB on 15-03-04 using my broker data from 2014-11-18 to 2015-02-26 using 80.0 points spread, had Annualized Profit 886.46% and Max Drawdown 19.52% on 36 trades.</p><p>When I rerun the test now, using the same broker&#039;s data on the same Data Horizon I get Annualized Profit -215.66% and Max Drawdown 81.50% on 47 trades.</p><p>When I rerun a backtest on MT4 (every tick f.w.i.w...) I get the identical good result as the backtest done on 15-03-03.</p><p>Why the difference? </p><p>It uses an hourly and a 5 minute CCI and trailing stop limit, trading 50% of the account balance. </p><p>I got an &#039;error bug report sent message&#039; when re-opening the strategy yesterday, today it opens fine.</p><p>I remade the strategy with the same settings - identical poor result.</p><p>It retests equally poorly on 5 different data sets I have on FSB.</p><p>Just trying to understand if some FSB updates may have corrected things e.g. indicators or backtest method - that I was unknowingly exploiting in the strategy or something; and if an old strategy now retests poorly on the same data horizon, I need to discard the strategy as no longer being valid.</p><p>Perhaps FSB has become stricter in its requirements of a valid strategy.</p><p>Any input much appreciated.</p><p>Thank you.</p>]]></content>
