Multichart results different to portofio backtest results

Postby malcrob » 12 May 2013

I want to use the portfolio backtester to test the performance of multiple system, but find that the results on a single system are different to the results on MC.

I have taken a series of screen pics to show the problem. Please let me know if I am doing something wrong.

Hello Malcolm,

Please make sure that you follow instructions in the following post:

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=9794#p46791

These parameters are very important:
In the Money Management Settings section Max % of Capital at Risk per Position should be 100%.
In the Money Management Settings section Initial Portfolio Capital should be maximum, e.g. $1 000 000.
If the problem persists, please send us your MC workspace, Portfolio Backtester workspace and the code that you use.
