Two different charts on the same strategy show different results in live simulation.

[Aviram Y]

Hello, i am building a strategy including custom indicators and running it on a live simulation account to see results overtime

The strategy runs on two different charts, one with custom indicators, and another with the corresponding Default indicators just provided by Ninja Trader.

The custom indicator chart has shown a trade sell at profit target, while the chart with the Default indicators showed the same trade sell at a stop loss, the true result was the trade that sold at a stop loss.

When running a back test with the Custom Indicators, that same trade is also sold at profit target.

I have provided two images that show the results on the two different charts.

I would like to avoid these types of scenarios in the future and know that the logic is working as intended, is there a way to provide assistance in that manner? let me know if you need any additional information from me!

Thanks in Advance.

Hello Aviram Y,

When running multiple instances of the same strategy in Realtime you could see differences depending on the code used and the settings of the strategies. Comparing historical vs realtime can also show differences for the above reasons.

I would suggest reviewing the following post which goes over how to debug different use cases, that would also give you the information needed to debug two of the same strategy running in realtime. You would need to use Prints to identify what specifically is different between the tests to know why the results differ.

Thank you!
I think the Default chart was indeed the live one, and the custom chart loaded the order as historical data, hence the different results.
If this happens again I will debug further and post my results here and maybe help someone else, unless this Topic is closed once marked solved by me.
