yes i think it may have something to do with the data.

Re: Different backtest results

A strategy file contains the statistics and balance/equity chart data from the last backtest. This data is used on the Home page and on the online repository. When we open a strategy later, it is recalculated on the latest historical data and settings. If the data or the settings are different, it is absolutely normal the backtets result to be different. Please not that the difference is not in the strategy but in the result. If you recover the conditions that was available at the moment of the previous test, you will receive the same results as before.

Yes, interesting that we joined the same day but you have made 10 times more posts.
Maybe because I am 5 years older and not in a big hurry any more ;-)
