Guys 

Is there any changes to the way strategy equity line is being calculated in 3.1 vs 2.0?

I ran the same test in 2.0 and 3.1 mean while the startegy equity line in 2.0 is at 5839 but in 3.1 is at 366 which is a huge difference.

Thanks

The Value of the Buy and Hold Equity line is way different as well. The Buy and Hold Equity line for Nasdaq 100 from 1/1/1998 to 7/15/2008 in 2.0 is about 1600 but in 3.1 it's at about 920. The only reason why I would assume be the reason is that the components of NASDAQ 100 in 2.0 is different than 3.1 and they are not I checked so the calculation must be different

Even the Percent in Trade if off.

Please advise Thanks

I am not aware of any differences in the way the Strategy Equity Line is calculated between Blocks 2 and Blocks 3.1. If the Percent in Trade is different, then the most likely explanation would be that the Blocks 2 Strategy and Blocks 3.1 BackScan are not the same. If you email me your Blocks 2 Workspace and Share your Blocks 3.1 Layout I will see if I can determine what is causing the differences.

Just did thanks

I used EPS % change latest qtr > 20% to buy and below 20% to sell on both 2.0 and 3.1 with 1/1/1998 to 7/15/2008.

The Startegy equity and Buy and Hold Equity line is way different and in 2.0 it makes 462 trades in 3.1 it makes 365 trades.

Bruce Let me know if you got my email on this. I sent it at 7:32 pm EST yesterday. 

For some reason the last few times I sent an email to support@worden.com it did not go through.

Yes, I received the email. I get 462 Trades in both 2.0 and 3.1, but it actually appears to be a bit of a coincidence as the number of losers and winners do not match (there are definitely differences I haven't been able to figure out). Could you Share your 3.1 Layout so I can look at your version?
