Post From: spreadsheet conversion problem

So far I have not noticed any improvements in the backtesting run time. Regarding my question about different backtest results, I did not encounter different results when running the same backtest. The example trade activity log I sent you contained results from an automatic backtest and then for a few days at the end of the log the results were from a manual replay. The settings were the same except for the speed. As I stated:

"First I ran an Autotrade System Replay Back Test (this is what I believe you are referring to when you say automatic replay) for all the data, then I ran Replay (this is a manual replay) from as close to the beginning of the chart as I could get. The trades at the end of the activity log from 2/16/2017 to 2/24/2017 (created by the Replay) are much different from the results for those same days at the beginning of the log (from Autotrade System Replay Back Test). I changed nothing in the spreadsheet or the chart."

Please note on the activity log I attached previously where the automatic replay had 2 trades on 2/17, 2 trades on 2/22, 1 trade on 2/23 and no trades on 2/24 while the manual replay (results at the end of the activity log) had 1 trade on 2/17, 2 trades on 2/22, no trades on 2/23 and 2 trades on 2/24. I don't see how this can be a problem with my spreadsheet since I changed nothing yet get different results in the automatic replay vs. the manual replay. I have seen this with tests from different spreadsheets, not just the one I sent you.
