Hello
I don't know if there is a bug (and if so, if it is known), or there is a setting I am missing.
I am running a strategy in Portfolio Trader. Daily Bars, Australian stocks. It works how I want it to.
I want to reference the Australian index, so I have added that symbol (.AXJO) to Data2 and coded accordingly in my strategy.
HOWEVER, here is the problem:
When I load the index symbol into Data2 but DO NOT reference Data2 in the strategy code, it yields drastically different results to when there is NO Data2 symbols and still no reference to Data2 in the code.
So I tried a different random symbol in Data2, still with no reference to Data2 in the code. And again, completely different results.
I have engaged ABC Trading, and he believes there is a bug. Or a setting he is unaware of.
Their guess is that because a symbol is placed in Data2, (even though Data2 is not referenced in the code) means that because of the maxbarsback setting (currently set to 200), it is running on different data and thus yields different results.
Is anyone else aware of this problem or experiencing the same?
Is there a way around it, or something I am missing...??
Many thanks for your help with this problem.
Kind Regards
Simone

Hello Simone,
This is expected behavior. Adding additional data series may change the data range of the strategy calculation and increase the number of strategy calculations.

Ah. Ok thanks.
I'll run some more tests then and come back to you. I'm sure I'll have some more questions.
Thanks for your fast response.
