I optimized a strategy on NQ 9-19 from 3/1/2018 to 6/19/2019 the strategy time was filtered to Thursday 6.40am to 1.00pm the optimizer trading hours were set to use instrument settings
based on entry time by half hour the results were $5070.00 net profit on 50 trades with average trade $101.40 Attachment 1
When I put the same exact optimized settings into a "standard" strategy analyzer the results are not the same. The only difference in settings is the time filter in the strategy was set to Thursday 8.00am to 8.29am
The results are $3925 net profit on 49 trades with an average trade of $80.10 Attachment 2
an additional 2 trades appear for 8.30am - $105 net profit with an average trade of $52.50
I can understand how there could be trades at 8.00am and 8.30am with slightly different results.
But the large difference in total net profit and average trade makes no sense.
any insight would be appreciated
