like Hankeys said, the SQX has a different structure and trading logic than SQ3. We have made a support for loading and conversion of old SQ3 strategies, but there are cases when the strategies behave differently in both platforms. To get similar results, you should check trading options settings and if the strategy allows duplicate trades in the first place. The Allow duplicate trades option is kind of hidden in SQX as we implemented it as an attribute of order entry blocks. You can check that if you edit the strategy in AlgoWizard.
There are multiple little differences between old and new version of SQ, for example the functionality of Exit On Friday. Some strategies will work right away, some need to be adjusted to match and unfortunately some of them won't work reliably in SQX.
I took a look at one of your attached strategies, and I can see a conversion problem which caused the strategy in SQX having a different logic. It seems to be a problem with a conversion of Enter/Reverse strategies. Because this particular strategy has a simple logic, I think the best way is to create the strategy in AlgoWizard by defining the trading rules and save it into SQX format.
We can make some adjustments in the conversion algorithm later, but we are currently working on another issues.
Best regards,
Tomas
