  Hi Grahal,

  Thank you for your test,

  I tested several markets with the purchase of one contract:

  1) Mini S & P in 1 H; everything is OK
  The MAs of the backtest have the same values as those of the graph and the external indicator.
  The 1H backtest signals are aligned with those of the external indicator.

  2) Mini DAX in 1H: same thing everything is OK

  3) CAC40 contract in 1 H: it does not work, a difference in value between the various calculations of MA. and no signal alignment

  4) GLE, BNP, ALLIANZ, DEUTSCHE BANK in 1 H: it does not work, a difference in value between the various calculations of MA. and no signal alignment.

  it  seems not understandable

  Only explanation I can think of is that Indicators do not work from the same price data as backtests and on some markets the two data sources do not match??

  Good Morning,

  Thank you very much Grahal, for your suggestion of duality.

  I just did a test. I changed the value of the moving averages in the trading system by a moving average [1,0].

  Only the last data, to be able to read on the gaphique, (by the function graphonprice), the course that the backtest uses for its computations.

  
  You will be able to see on the charts, that all the 17:00 backtest have different prices (black line) from those in the chart.

  
  From February 2008 until September 9, 2019, the prices at 17:00 are different.
  And indeed, since a few weeks, my results of proorder did not correspond any more to those of the backtests over the period of the preceding 8 months. My backtests started in 2011 and they became very different, and for good reason.

  Was there a problem or change of data at this time?
  You will be able to see that this difference of course at 17h00 does not appear any more since September 9, 2019.
  I did the same test on BNP and GLE, same result.

  I do not know how to ask PRT to check its database.

  Do you have custom trading hours for that instrument? In case it is, please use the default market hours.

  Another thing to test, use the default instruction for EMA:

  exponentialaverage[10](close)

  1	exponentialaverage[10](close)

  I think it is best to keep it as simple as possible so PRT Support understand at a first read what are the symptoms?

  Isolate a single instance of out of phase triggers … and show zoomed in images with arrows like I did … and then ask PRT …

  “Why does the same code in the System and the Indicator not trigger on the same bar”?

  Hi Nicolas,

  I have no custom trading hour, the trading system above is very simple.

  I have modified with the default instruction for EMA: exponentialaverage[10](close), no change.
