Re: Why do different versions yield different optimizations?

OK, I believe I have solved the issue. In our proprietary systems when we do optimizing from DT to 64 we will get a similar amount of results that again as per #2 above are mixed up and in no particular order. Again, for example you will have: MC DT: ROA____________RSI LE__________RSI SE 1000_______...

Re: Why do different versions yield different optimizations?

OK! Found some very interesting things along the testing pathway... 1. (SLIPPAGE ERROR?) DT adds or calculates slippage X 2. So if you put in slippage at $20 for MCDT and $20 for MC64 you will have a profit on a trade for MCDT @ $2622.5, where as the profit for MC64 will be $2642.5, this is consiste...

Re: Why do different versions yield different optimizations?

The versions from different release cycles can produce different results as there are constant fixes and improvements introduced in each new version.
Is what I read so that's why I ask.

Never-mind though, I am commencing the testing. I'll get the info to you probably next week.

Re: NEW IQFeed User, comparing it to TS Data help

IQFeed does not have a back adjusted contract called @ES#C They have one called @ES# which I am referring to. As stated they have errors which do not reflect what you should have in a back adjusted contract. Unless I am mistaken about how it should be done. Maybe IQFeed users prefer it done this way?

Hi,

Just upgraded TS to 9.0 so that may be the issue (I have it set for minimum hardware/network usage).
But, our optimizations on our systems would take about 45 to 50 seconds. They have consistantly been thus for 1.5 years.

Now they take 4 to 5 minutes!
