  Hello

  Got a problem with PRT v11 yesterday.

  I have changed some setting but do not know which one.

  Uninstalled PRT V11 and reinstalled but the problem remains.

  My settings are saved.

  The problem is that when I do a back test, I get less gain than before.

  Two friends have done back tests with the same code that I have and they get the same results as I had before I changed any setting.

  Has the same start times, spread and time zone and so on.

  Can you do a reset and get the basic settings in some way ??

  I don’t think so.
  Unless you can find some basic initial saved template from earlier on ?

  Thanks for the tip.

  But tested an old template and unfortunately I got the same incorrect results.

  You could set the report from your friend(s) next to yours and see where the differences are ?
  Add as many columns as possible for the comparisons.

  Also notice that it could be a variable (parameter) which you set fixed *but* which is still a variable. You won’t see that readily but it will show in the report …

  1 M Units

  Do you and your friends all have the Premium version ?
  With “Complete” you won’t get 1M units loaded, I think.

  Anyway, I feel it could be related to the Historical Data. So notice that 1M is just that, and that this may behave differently than non-historical data.
  So or you made a change somewhere in that area, or what you get could be different from what your friends receive ?

  Yes we both have premium.

  Now I have located the error I think.

  For some reason, “tick by tick” was unchecked.

  I did not clear the box.

  When I talked to another friend now, it happened to him too.

  That the box was ticked off.

  When I marks the box “tick by tick” again the result will not be as it should be.

  It’s probably a bug in PRT.

  Has emailed PRT and explained the problem.

  Who knows.

  Maybe I have made a setting about historical data if I can do that?

  I have a look!

  1 M Units on SPX 500.

  Now I only have 744k bars in 5 min timeframe.

  How many have you others?

  Could that be the fault.

  That I had 1m units before but only 744k now?

  These “limits” can be tweaked in the sense of “it is wacky”. But this is merely the other way around of what you propose (kind of). Thus, it may not be possible to reach that 1M (or whatever other official limit for the units etc. you chose) BUT with some friggling you can get it done anyway. However, because this would be “friggling” indeed, it will easily reset to the formal maximum.
  So indeed something like that can have happened.

  If you mean the SP500 Index or S&P 500 future, then see below (both set at 5 minute candles).

  Notice that this is “PRT-Direct” (not IG).

  And with 3 minutes (below). Thus ~7 years vs ~14 years. So I don’t think it is consistent. This is why the “tweaking” / friggling can matter.
  There’s all sorts of small anomalies regarding this, so be careful.
