I was backtesting and when i used 250 value for bar processing increment i got different result while when i change the value i got different result in trade statistics.

What does it actually mean , for eg: we say 250 then i read in sierra it says it process 250 bars once at a time.

What is the best practice for this, should i keep the default value i.e 250?

how does it work for live trading?

What version of Sierra Chart are you running? Make sure you are running the current version of Sierra Chart. And is this a multiple chart back test you are doing? Or are you just replaying one chart.

The processing of data during live trading is different. This is explained in more detail here:
