Hi,

I am having a problem with my Amibroker 4.80 installed
software. I added a new database using yahoo free data
from 1980-present, and I use an old db which is also
from yahoo free data. The backtests are generating
differect trades now depending on the data being used.


Can anyone explain why this is occuring on multiple
stocks? Thanks, Eric 


Old Database works fine:
