I have been using a WIN 7 PC and just got a WIN 10.
Trying to compare backtest results with same program and same database. (Both PCs accessing same data base, via local network).
The results are repeated consistently in each computer, but somewhat different from each other.
The only functional difference between computers is WIN 7 has 12GB of RAM, while WIN 10 has 16GB.
All data parameters in preferences and DB settings are set at same values.
The results for %CAR of 5 strategies are shown below:
WIN 7 WIN 10
Startegy #1 15.02 14.03
Strategy #2 12.34 11.72
Strategy #3 17.00 17.27
Strategy #4 17.65 16.66
Strategy #5 18.23 18.62
I was expecting identical test results and am quite surprised from the results I have
Appreciate any feedback
