Unfortunately we were not able to reproduce the problem. Positions amount shows correctly for us

Panagiotis,
Can you please check this under the same conditions (broker, symbol, etc) ?
This way you'll be (obviously) more likely to be able to reproduce the issue.
Remark: It has been already noticed in the past that many issues that applied to indices were not applicable to forex.
Thanks.
We did but with no luck unfortunately. We will keep it in mind though in case we stumble upon it in any other occasion
Panagiotis,
I really don't understand how you're not able to reproduce this issue.
Try the following backtest settings and let me know. Using the exact same cBot code and backtest settings I can't expect anything else than the same outcome.
thanks for your reply and I'm quite sure you will be right ;-)
But I still wonder why the chart history is different to backtesting history data.
So for clarifying 3 questions and I hope I don't bother you, if that is explained in doumentation you could provide me the link to it:
Chart-data/TimeFrame.M1 => what is the source format the broker provides? Tick-data or directly TimeFrame.M1-data?
Backtesting-data/Source: M1 from Server => what is the source format the broker provides? Tick-data or directly TimeFrame.M1-data?
Backtesting-data/Source: Ticks from Server => The source could be only the Tick-data, right?
If your answer to point 1. and point 2. is the same, the problem ist probably not at the broker side, but between 1 and 2 is a difference.
So considerd that your answer above “talk to IC Markets” is right, I guess cTrader gets all broker data (for Charts and Live-Bots) only by ticks and makes/generate all longer timeframes as M1, H1 etc. by it's own - only that would explain that “Backtesting-data/Source: Ticks from Server” and “Chart-data/TimeFrame.M1” gets the same result. Based on that and if that would be true, “Backtesting-data/Source: M1 from Server” have to be a different source by the broker, am I correct with that?
Thank you and best regards,
Bernhard
Hi Bernhard,
If your chart data is different to your backtesting data, try cleaning your backtesting cache in C:\Users\[USER][\AppData\Roaming\[BROKER]\BacktestingCache. If the issue persists, please talk to your broker. It is a bit pointless to try pinpoint the source of the problem yourself. The price feed is a responsibility of the broker. Even if this is a cTrader issue, we cannot intervene unless the broker asks for it.
