I experienced a weird behavior in MC lately, my live strategy opened a position while my backtest did NOT (see picture for more info). The strategy is a channel breakout strategy with a time filter.



The time condition is as following:

 
Code
Condition11 = ((Time > 100) and (Time < 2200));
What I don't understand is why the live strategy opened a position, as MC support told me the strategy is calculated at the end of the bar. That should be 22:59 in this case, so the time condition should NOT be met and no order should be created.

If I remove the time condition from the strategy, the backtest also takes the trade (as shown in the 2nd picture). So the problem must be the time condition.




But what am I doing wrong?


Thanks for your help!


P.S. Intrabar order generation is turned off!
