I ran several successful backtests while successively making changes to the code. Suddenly, it stopped working properly even after backing out the changes. I can retrieve the working code from a successful backtest. Is there a way to compare it side by side with the current code?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Sincerely,
Craig

Hi Craig,
There is currently no feature in the Algorithm Lab to check the differences in code between two backtests. However, you can search Google for a “diff checker” and it will do the trick. You just need to copy-paste the code from your backtest files.
Best,
