Can someone from Quantopian specifically explain to me why the results are so different for the same algorithm with the same start day.
Why has the whole history been rewritten on 2018-12-27?
Below are backtest results made on 2018-12-25

Vladimir,
Without seeing an attached backtest, it's difficult to debug this issue. Could you either attach a backtest exhibiting the problem or email it in to [email protected] so our support team can take a look?
If not, can you give me a bit more detail about the algo? For instance, does it use external datasources via Fetcher or the new Self-Serve data feature? If not, which data does it depend on? My first instinct is that we may have gone back and corrected a missing corporate action that could have changed the behavior. However, I wouldn't expect that to be the case two days in a row so there could be a bug somewhere.
