so I am currently testing SQ X Build 111 and have tested how good the import and re-testing of SQ3 strategies works. For most of my existing strategies from SQ3, the backtest in SQ X are very close. However, there are some that don´t match at all. I am showing you a screenshot of one such scenario, showing SQ3, SQ X and the backtest in MT4 (code exported via SQ3). All 3 use the exact same data, all 3 use 1 minute tick simulation mode, all 3 use the same spread, slippage, commission, etc.:

Strategy in MT4 (code exported from SQ3): https://image.ibb.co/cu8q19/Screenshot_3.png
Strategy in SQ X: https://image.ibb.co/da1XEU/Screenshot_5.png
As we can see, SQ and MT4 (code exported from SQ3) match very closely, almost EXACTLY actually. In SQ X it is completely wrong.
I´ve then gone ahead and exported the MQ4 code for that strategy from SQ X, this is how it looks in MT4 then: https://image.ibb.co/mxLQZU/Screenshot_6.png
As we can see, it looks nothing like in SQ X, nor SQ3 and although you guys said a while back that all backtests between SQ X -> MT4 now match almost 100%, this does not seem to be the case, as the SQ X backtest clearly does not match the exported SQ X MQ4 code in MT4. Which brings me to the conclusion that something with SQ X is completely messed up in that department, because neither does the strategy from SQ3 correctly backtest in SQ X, nor does the exported MT4 code from SQ X match SQ X backtest.
However, luckily the SQ3 backtests and MT4 backtests match almost perfectly, which shows that SQ3 is still the right platform to use until SQ X has grown up a bit more. It´s still not usable for me at this point because of such massive quirks that really ruin the whole thing, because if backtests don´t match, not even between SQ X and it´s exported MT4 code, this is a big no go for any serious strategy development.
Hope you can still fix it, so that SQ X might get usable one day.
P.S.: If need be, I can share the strategy with you directly, but I cannot post it here in public. In this case, send me a reply here and I will email it to you.
please send me your SQ3 strategy to t.brynda@seznam.cz and I will take a look at it. Recently I did some changes in a script that converts old SQ3 strategies to SQX, maybe the bug is fixed already, we'll see.
Thanks,
Tomas
