I'm curious if this is a known issue or not.
I have two copies of MC. Same data feed for both. Same MC version.
I'll copy and paste a window from one copy to the other so the window and all the configurations are exactly the same. The highs/lows/opens/closes can be significantly different between the two copies.
Because of this issue, I uninstalled and reinstalled one of the MC copies. At that point I got a 3rd version of the highs/lows/opens/closes.
Because of this, the back-tests are always different (not a lot) between the two copies.
Henry or Andrew, if you want to check it out, I'll let you log in. Let me know the best time for that.

Re: Range / Point Bars different highs lows opens closes
Hello MAtricks,
For both MultiCharts please go to File tab->Preferences->Data server mode
Make sure you are in online mode, "download missing historical data" is enabled
Please reload your chart in MC1. Then copy and paste it into MC2.
Are the bars still different?

Re: Range / Point Bars different highs lows opens closes
"Downloading missing historical data" was checked on both. They're both on live data. After confirming this, I reloaded the data in one and copied/pasted the window into the other. The issue didn't change.
I'm finding it with other bar types as well.

For testing purposes, I applied a signal on MC1 and copied and pasted the window over to MC2.
I used this example because it was the most drastic that I've found.
This is the same:
-signal and window copied over. (momentum LE and SE native with Multicharts- no alterations)
-Same data feed. (mb trading eurusd 5 min)
-Same version of MC (6851)
EDIT:
Andrew has connected and is working on the issue. I'll post back here with an update to this issue.

Re: Bars different highs lows opens closes
Andrew and his team connected to both of my computers to investigate. The conclusion was that MB Trading is providing different data to identical MB Trading Forex accounts. Looking at the test performance report in the previous post, this data is very different.
I'll be in contact with MB (they're slow to respond) to investigate it on their end.
