I often see a discrepancy in my historical backtests. I understand that there will discrepancies between real time paper trading and historical back tests as explained here. https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ime_vs_bac.htm
However, I often delete my Historical Data (then Reset the Database, Repair the Database, delete the cache dir and the db/cache dir) to thoroughly delete the historical data.
When I do the steps above, I assume that during my backtests, NT retrieves the latest data in your historical database from your servers, correct?
I do this periodically, and I often find it changes the results of my backtest (not drastically, but there are differences).. I compare this to NT running on a workstation where I haven’t reset the the historical values.
Any ideas why? (I am running the same exact strategy). Do you often update the historical data on your servers?
Thanks.
