Hi guys,
i noticed that there are some differences beetwin portfolio trader and multicharts using the same Strategies Properties.
For example,using market orders, if the marketposition of one Signal is 1 and i turn on Automated Trading, Multicharts send immediatly and correclty LONG order to the broker (as it should be).
The same thing does not happen in Portfolio Trader, that does not send any orders to the broker when i turn on Automated Trading.
Why this behaviour ?
Best Regards

Hello No Erocla,
Your script should generate the same results in MultiCharts and Porfolio Trader if the settings are the same.
You need to have one instrument in your portfolio for the results to match with the chart. Just 1 trading instrument (data 1).
You need to have IOG and bar magnifier disabled for your strategy in MultiCharts.
Extended backtesting is also not available in Portfolio Trader, therefore you need to disable it in MultiCharts.
All instrument settings (resolution, quote field, data range ) should be the same in both applications. On the chart the Data Range should be specified as From_To and not Days/Bars Back.
MultiCharts has no money management, therefore you need to configure the portfolio to have no money management limits for orders.
In the Money Management Settings section Max % of Capital at Risk per Position should be set to 100%.
In the Money Management Settings section Initial Portfolio Capital should be set to the highest value ($1 000 000 000).

Hello No Erocla,
Portfolio Trader does not support IOG and BarMagnifier for signals. IOG is supported for the money management signal only.
