when I am building strategies with Multicharts engine, I have much less accepted strategies per hour

I tested one strategy (41134) on Metatrader 5 to compare the Metatrader 5 results and StrategyQuantX  results .(with MT5 Netted engine)

As Metatrader 5 and StrategyQuantX don't have the same data and engine, I don't expect to have the exact same trade.

But I would expect to have about the same shape.

 Here, we can really see the the MT5 engine give a different results than StrategyQuantX.

Metatrader engine of StrategyQuantX seem to give too much positive results when we compare with Metatrader 5.

Is it possible ? Is it because the way the Metatrader engine buy or sell ? on  the lowest / highest of the candle ?

if i tested it in my dukascopy data cloned to UTC2 timezone (which you need to do - because most probably you will not be trading with UTC0 broker), i am getting these results

Anyway, I tries your project with both engines, and I'm getting a similar number of accepted strategies, even more for MultiCharts than for MT5.

Do you have both MT5 and MultiCharts? You should create strategies specifically for your trading platform, trading engines of MT and MC are so different that strategies might not work the saem in both engines.

Yes I have MT5 and Multicharts for many years. I am as well engineer and professional developer in this industry and I am here to help if you allow me.

If we try the same project, why do we have differents results ?

You have 25.27 % of accepted stratégies for MT5 Netted and 39.04 % of accepted stratégies for Multicharts. This is really high.

On my side I have 0.19 % of accepted stratégies for MT5 and 0.01 of accepted stratégies for Multicharts. The test was made with the parameters of the courses of Mr Zanka.

We clearly don't have the same parameters.

Following your recommendation I will focus on Multicharts and create strategies with Multicharts engine. I know well Multicharts.

Can you please attach your projecs for MT5 and MultiCharts that cause this? I'll look again.

Thank you very much Mr Fric for considering it.

Here is the project I am building with the parameters of the second courses of Mr Zanka.

I hope this will help. I am willing to help as much as I can  (computer power, development, etc.)

One way I could help would be to focus on the Multicharts part.

Please let me know.

How did you get EURUSD data you are using?

When I try your custom project it doesn't produce any accepted strategies.

Even when I retest the strategy you attached with the same settings I get a totally different equity curve.

I'm using standard Dukascopy data downloaded to SQ.

There's one more issues when switching between MetaTrader and MultiCharts. Each uses different bar settings. 
For MultiCharts it is "Bar time is end of bar", for MT s is "Bar time is start of bar"

This affects how higher timeframes are computed and it could have big impact. YOu should use the same data you'll be using in each of your platform.

To make sure you have correct setup and reproducible results generate just one random strategy in SQ for yout trading platform, and then retest in on that platform. If the results are too different there s some problem in your SQ configuration or data.

I am using EURUSD from Dukascopy

(I attache a copy of my screen)

I downloaded the data from SQ.

I did the same test with the imported data from Multicharts as well. (with the option "Timestamp is end of bar time")

 And I am getting the same number of accepted stratégies in Multicharts

I use this data Inside Multicharts : (IQfeed) https://drive.google.com/file/d/11Jt_ZILfjsgh0TLWjxxgp4x8ls5EL8ck/view?usp=sharing

After doing a retest I found :

1/ First, I did not install the SQ _ MC indicators properly : I installed SQ.ELD instead of SQ_MC in my Multicharts.

Multicharts imported it without any problem, and gave buy and sell signal in the backtest with SQ stratégies.

 even if Multicharts  was not able to compile the SQ functions and indicators.( The SQ functions, and indicators was not compiled.)

2/Then I was able to get the same results with SQ and MC with a simple SMA strategie       (with 30 pips Stop loss and 30 pips Profit Target)

   (see Capture MC close to close and Capture SQ Equity chart)

    You can see the same trade in Capture SQ trade 972 and capture MC trade 972.

      I want to show this for futures Customers , who may need to see this.

     To get this results , I focus on a simple strategy with one on indicator SMA

However, I did change : tickSize=0.0001;

I removed the NumberOfShares in the buy order

I removed the SQ_CorrectMinMaxSLPT function

with few minor adjustment in the strategy property box of MC

3/ Finally  , regarding the question of having more strategies with the Metatrader engine than the Multicharts engine : 

As you can see on the capture MT 31 minutes and the capture MC 36 minutes, both engine MT and MC produce around the same number of stratgies after 30minutes with the same imported data from Multichart. I have around 10 accepted stratégies per 30 minutes. around 3000 $ of profit strategies

However if I use Dukascopy data (downloaded with SQ) with Metatrader engine I have 300 stratégies per minutes.30 000$ of profit stratégies !

Please , look in this new video I made at the minute 4:00 with  EURUSD then at 6:22 for GBPUSD, I have the same results. to much unreal  stratégies per minute

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1D-wI4-gWd3enOOdqd4Uvc1SrM6CmpEpJ/view?usp=sharing

if I use the multicharts engine with  Dukascopy data, it is working fine.

The only unusual behavior is metatrader engine with duskacopy downloaded data.

It will allow me to compare the differences.

I see it on the video, but there must be some reason for this behavior.

Please, find attached a strategie with the Multicharts engine : "Strategy 4.3.157 Multicharts.sqx"

and one strategy with Metatrader 5 Netted engine : "Strategy 4.1.163 Metatrader 5 Netted.sqx"

When I select the Metatrader 5 or 4, we have lot more stratégies, much more profitable.

I hope this will help.

I did more test :

1/   with MT5 engine with "selected timeframe only"                     (Attached capture : MT 5 selected timeframe only Strategy 2.2.189(1))

2/ with MT5 engine with "1 minute datatick simulation"               (Attached Capture : MT5 Data tick 1 min)

With the selected timeframe only   (H1), we can see an equity charts very linear , the profit can go up to 13000 $ IS.

With the "1 minute datatick simulation", we can see an equity chart less linear, the profit is around 3000 $ IS.

There is a large difference between "selected timeframe only"  and "1 minute datatick simulation" 

The "1 minute datatick simulation"  with the Metatrader 5 engine look more realistic. And it looks more like the results I would get with Multicharts engine. I would have the same number of accepted stratégies as well, with similar results .

Finally the real difference would be between "selected timeframe only" and "1 minute datatick simulation" with the Metatrader 5 engine ?

Please try to delete all the files in /internal/testfiles , they are generated datafeed files and they seem to be incorrect. They'll be regenerated again when you'll start builder or retester.

The whole issue seems to be caused by these bad data, I'm closing this task, there doesn't seem to be anything to solve.

Yesturday , I discovered some data was missing for the EURUSD instrument.  (2 000 000 instead of 5 000 000 minutes bars,  the missing days was spread over 17 years )

I did redownload the data with advice of Tamas, and now I have all the data.

I will retest as soon as possible.

Yes, the missing data was probably giving trouble to Metatrader engine.

Mark, thank you very much for investigating this. I really appreciate it

Today , I made test with all the data (5 000 000 minutes bars)

The Metatrader engine is working fine, all the results with 1 min bar and 1 hour bar are coherent.

 (There is not anymore a difference between "selected timeframe only"  H1 and "1 minute datatick simulation"   )
