Hi,
What is the difference between the symbols of "Specific Stocks" and "Stocks" in Chart settings=> Symbol=> Find? For example, when I backtest the same strategy using the symbols MSFT-STK-SMART/NASDAQ and MSFT, I get different results.

Thanks.

The category Stocks list no symbols. So that is just not relevant.

The best solution is to use this data feed:
Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed

For now follow the instructions here:
Interactive Brokers Trading Service: Using Sierra Chart Historical Data

And be sure to fully re-download the data in both of those charts.
