Hello Alesiosc,

When I compare the data in the 2 charts, I notice different price bars. If you run the same automated strategy on different data, you get different results. I suspect one chart contains data received in realtime and the other chart contains data loaded as historical data.

Please note that you can experience differences between realtime data and historical data. See the link below.
