SQX143 Multichart engine lack of “1 minute datatick precision” and “Real Tick(Custom ; real spread) ? in builder

only “selected timeframe only (fastest)”

This results in inconsistent, making accurate backtesting and strategy development impossible, particularly for trailing stop, stop-loss, and pending order strategies.

Hi Roen,

The MultiCharts backtesting engine in StrategyQuantX was designed to match the TS/MC trading engines, so if you see differences, they are most likely due to differences in data or configuration between the two programs.

This is an important read:

We did have plans to add support for higher backtesting precision, but this has been postponed for future consideration.

Could we know when, or in which version of SQX, a high-precision MultiCharts builder engine will be available?
Currently in Taiwan, exchanges are no longer allowed to use MetaTrader.
Thank you.
