Maybe next time use a version of the EA with the settings hard-coded, so without need/ possibility for changing settings?

Good idea! I'm going to try my own test at home. 4 instances exactly the same.

I thought it might be because no history was loaded so left it a while but it's still the same. Probably just me

ok i have made a mod of the open all charts in alphabetical order indicator that works without crashing in build 765. i need some volunteers to test it for me. please PM me if you are interested.

Do we need the snapshots for this test?

Sorry for a very late reply. Just to clarify...You dont need to write in the different trading types (filter) every time. You only do this once.
1. Click CUSTOM ANALYSIS
2. Click TRADE tab and fill in the exact comment from HGB for the rad and multirad (example)
3. Then click SEARCH PROFILES tab, put in a choosen name, like RAD trades, then click SAVE.

After this you will never have to fill in this any more. You only click on the different saved profiles depending of what you want to analyse.

After completing step 4, go back to step 2 and continue to fill in the other trading types (Trend/Wave/Range/Trendwave)

It is extremely important to fill in the COMMENT field under TRADE tab exactly as it is spelled in the HGB EA.

I hope you understand my english (not my first language)

Thank you!!

Now I've learned something.

Like the activity here, although I didn't have time to participate.

some possibilities:
they haven't been setup correctly (human error)
Latency
Some bugs in the code
Timing of setup
Operating system??
Or some unknown factor we haven't considered

What do you guys think?

Okay, fact is, HGB is not taking the same trades on the diffrent accounts. Another possibility is, HGI is not producing the same signals (although based on the same(?) price feed)
I just checked randomly: 1057 had losers with EURJPY (Trend arrow). I don´t have even pendings for that pair.
Therefor I think we need the screenshots. To compare signals and stuff (although mine won´t be that informative, cause of lacking the indis (AWS VPS)

In my case (1PC), it is not taking all the signals. I'll check some more latter.

A few samples attached:

Haven't the time to participate now, but following with interest.

Regarding differences:
I remember few years ago when we were comparing NinjaTrader strategy performance between a group of traders, one issue turned out to be that the computer times of the participants were not the same. Some were out several minutes. At the time we used a thingy to force regular synchronisation.

It would be interesting to see if all the Amazon VPS's are more similar (as these would run at the same time stamp).
