Impossível replicar estratégias na Easylanguage (tanto MC quanto TS)

Olá,

I’m a Multicharts user, but I also have a Tradestation account. After testing on both platforms, I can easily say that it’s not possible to replicate an SQX strategy in Easylanguage.

Here are my experiences trying numerous SQX strategies:

• 40 percent of the strategies: the equity curve in MC looks similar, but there are significant differences in PnL, Drawdown, and number of trades.
• 30 percent of the strategies: The equity curve in MC looks different but reminds me of the one in SQ. Obviously, Pnl, DD, and num of trades are different
• 30 percent of the strategies: The equity curve in MC is a total disaster

I followed the recommendations in the guides:
– exported my minute data from Multicharts
– took care of timezone settings
– configured a similar session in SQ

Actually, nothing helps. I believe there is a massive bug in SQ regarding Easylanguage generation. Some help and support would be appreciated.

Olá,

I agree, I have the same problems with TradesTation.

I suspect that part of the problem is how SQ aggregates the timeframe using the session.

As an example, I attached my session configuration in MC and SQ. When I use the View and Analyze function, I see that the Hourly timeframe is compiled differently (see 3rd attachment).

This means an extra candle appears in SQ, which does not exist in MC. I believe this could be the reason or at least part.

I agree. SQX generated strategies are currently 100% unusable in MultiCharts and I’ve tried every permutation of export and recommendation. All development of SQX should be halted until this is resolved.

Has anyone raised this with the support team and gotten a response? Seems more appropriate for official SQ support, rather than community support.

I opened a ticket the day I made this forum post. Support said it would be solved in a few weeks. It was a long time ago.

I found it pretty unethical to accept license payments from futures traders despite the fact that SQX is not working for futures, although it’s advertised.

I have the same issue. Massive bugs, data not showing properly and out of nowhere. I use DTN data, exported to SQX, and sometimes i just have data that is nowhere to be found (i.e. the close price of a trade is not anywhere in the OHLC data of the near bars)
