Why do I get different results when I run an Autotrade system replay back test compared to a replay chart set to a slower speed? While reviewing the results of a system back test, I noticed a trade that clearly should not have executed so I set the replay chart at a slower speed and replayed that area of the chart so I could see the trade happening and then the trade did not happen and I got results that are consistent with my spreadsheet formulas, but in system replay I have trades executing that should not be.

Refer to the documentation here:

Most likely the issue is with the auto trade system not working consistently itself.

You need to isolate specifically what it is about your auto trading system which is not working consistently. If you believe that it should be working consistently, then provide details and we will review and decide if that makes sense and then we will look into it further.

There may be a problem we need to look into, but more than likely the issue is with the automated trading system itself. If also it is an ACSIL based automated trading system, then definitely the issue would be within the automated trading system itself.

If there is is an issue we need to look into, it needs to be presented in a clear, simple and straightforward way.
