Erroneous representation

[samish18]

My live account took trades it should not have - comparing the live trades to the backtest of the same time period and the chart values, these were absolutely erroneous trades, I would like to request a full refund of the money stolen from me by this fraudulent software

Hello samish18,

When comparing realtime and historical results there are some reasons that would cause the strategy to calculate differently. While we would be unable to provide an exact answer of why that is with your custom strategy you can debug the strategy to find out the exact answer. Because every strategy is different there is not one single answer as to why that would be different, that heavily depends on the settings you used and how the strategy was coded.

We have a guide linked below that goes over how you can add debugging to the strategy to explore differences between tests. The guide goes over comparing historical and realtime which is what you explained.

This page lists some common items which will cause differences between realtime and historical, you can use this page to see if any of these apply to your use case:

This guide goes over how to add debugging and then compare results. The short summary is that you add prints into your code and then collect the output after running the strategy in realtime. Then restart the strategy so it processes historically and then collect those prints as well. You can then compare the prints to see how the strategy logically worked in both use cases. Based on your observations you can make any changes needed to have the strategy results become more close to realtime.
