Different Backtesting results
Different Backtesting results
23 May 2024, 07:36
I am experiencing an issue with strategy testing in cTrader. The problem is that I have two accounts, Pepperstone demo and Spotware demo, and when I test the same strategy on these two different accounts, I get completely different results. The differences are so significant that they cannot be attributed to minor discrepancies. As a result, I am losing confidence in the platform.
I want to emphasize that during these tests, all parameters, trading volume, balance, data source (Tick Data From Server Accurate), and everything else are identical. The cTrader version is also the same. What could be the problem, or how can I investigate this issue further?
Best regards

The bot's code doesn't matter; all bots do the same thing with the same parameters and timeframes. Could there be such radical inaccuracies in historical prices? How do I determine the accuracy of historical prices?

Spotware Demo accounts are for demonstration purposes only so there might be inaccuracies. If you want accurate historical data, use a broker's account.
