So, don't expect the two to match - doing so creates headaches not profits. Simulation is intended for testing and development and making design choices - doing A vs B comparisons - where A and B are both simulations. If you have a (healthy) concern for the how's and whys and reliability etc of the live-trading side of OV, then focus your time and study and questions on "why did OV make such and such a decision" without trying to compare it to simulation runs that are NOT supposed to track with it, for a large number of (unavoidable) mathematical/logical reasons. The same goes for OT/VT or any other trading platform that does both historical simulation and also live trading. The two will not be precisely the same. Shorter and more pithy: Study the apple. Don't compare to the banana. | |
