@Brian occasionally I run parameter scans and it returns results that are identical regardless of the parameter mix. I understand this could be because the parameter variations simply don't change the results however in this most recent case I've got a CustomFactor that combines multiple Fundamental Factors along with a Volatility Factor. I'm using the percentile between function with the Volatility Factor which is where I inserted my parameters. I ran a parameter scan with 3 different min_percent and 3 different max_percent parameters and the results of the parameter scan were identical for all variations. I then manually ran a backtest with different parameter settings (that were identical to the variations run in the parameter scan) and it returned different results. Any suggestions on what the issue is would be appreciated. Let me know if you need more information. Thanks.
This isn't an easy question for the forum as it requires digging into your specific code. A parameter scan just runs multiple backtests, so there must be something different about your manual runs.
@Brian fair enough. I'll double check my code and come to you offline if I can't figure it out. Thanks.
