Thanks Tony. That's exactly what the SD guy told me. By the time I finally got someone who knew what he was talking about I was tired of fooling around with it so I set it aside, but I'm going to brush it off and give it another go since I know it's possible to get it to work! Thanks for the encouragement.
SD support also told me that if I had backtesting logic that was working, testing it the way I was testing it (without detect 1 min), that I could slide all my logic back a timeframe and achieve similar results. Does that make sense to you? It kinda makes sense to me but I never tried it.
I think my timing issues come more from the use of technicals than price.
