Hi SQ companions,
has somebody else experienced that SQ is sometimes generating strategies that would open trades on full round minutes like 09.00, 09.05, 9.10 (on 5 minute time frame with tick precision)?
Moreover these kind of strategies are performing a lot better than strategies opening on random minutes like 9.11, 9.13, 9.26 etc.
I know that this happens if you set the precision of the backtested data to for example 5 mins instead of using slow tick data precision. In real life testing those strategies obviously do not perform well at all (because obviously you’re not feeding the strategy with real data).

Here an example of the same thing happening on 30MIN timeframe. These are my best two strategies judged by a 100% certainty of MC trades manipulation and MC retest. The best strategy opens trades on full round 30MINs while the second best opens at random times.
RANDOM MINUTE ENTRIES
ROUND FULL MINUTE ENTRIES:

Generally strategies having entries at times like 10:30 or 12:00 are strategies using Market orders while those using Limits and Stop orders can have timestamps in between depending on fill times of those orders
Can you attach the strategies and send to [email protected]? I will check, thanks
