Status changed from Waiting for information to Fixed
There was a problem in reading time parameters from SQ3 strategies, it is fixed now.

Also, can you check fix the Strategy Options from SQ3 are not coming through?
We've decided to focus more on new things than to the old strategies conversion.
The fix will be available in the upcoming release, probably at the beginning of the next week.
The tests differ because we have made various changes in a way the strategies work. The compatibility for lots of strategies is good, but sometimes there are bigger differences depending on a logic of the individual strategy. The accuracy should be the same in old SQ3 and SQX, both MQL codes should produce the same results as the backtest in SQ version they were created in does.
I would advise you to load the old strategies into SQX and make new robustness tests to know if you can trust the strategies also in SQX.
Some strategies probably won't work very well, but most of them should.
because backtest will be different and why to hold something i cant backtest on newest data
Results from live traded SQ3 strategies and backtested in SQX is totally different unfortunately so the ones i do not have trade results from i will delete as Hankeys or install SQ3.
Problematic is new SQx strategies with updates that make changes to logic so you need to keep track on which version of SQx they were made on and to mix such strategies 3 years from now on the same MT4 or MT5 how can this be controlled or do we need to run separately version 126,128,129,130,131.....150 it can be done ofcourse but already i have 100rds of strategies incubated for 2 years on earlier version of SQx that have good performance should i then trust because i get a similar back test in 130 that it will trade identical to the past i don't think so because i know it will not since some bugs were fixed in 129 that was distance to price for example that only effected trading in Mt4 and not SQX.
We are making maximum effort not to influence existing strategies results but sometimes we just have to fix the bugs and if we know it may have some impact on existing strategies, we let you know in an info popup after update. In past we've found some bugs in our indicators, that was unpleasant. But in recent versions all indicators work fine. I can tell because I do a lot of testing. I personally check mostly all reported differences in results between SQ and trading platforms.
Before every new release we are making automatic backtests on more than 1300 sample strategies and checking results between MT4/MT5 and SQ to make sure we haven't broken anything.
I think our approach is right and that you can trust new versions of SQ.
