I have attached some screen shots from the standard strategy that works and the 'Sample Advanced Automated Strategy v1.0' that does not. I use the exact same backtesting settings for both strategies. In simulation mode the 'Sample Advanced Automated Strategy v1.0' does a number of trades for the chosen date, in backtest mode it seems to be calculating (the graph is there) but it gives me no results. NT version 6.5
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
When u say " simulation mode" is this just when u right click on the chart that has the strategy applied and looking at Strategy Performance/ Historical?
There may also be a hint as to why it doesn't trade in the log, trace, Tools/Output Window..
Sorry, where I said Simulation mode I meant Replay mode. It does trades in Replay mode only, not in Backtest. The log does not say anything when I run a Backtest. The strange thing is that it seems to perform calculations because it takes while to do the Backtest. The result is just 0.
Could anyone try a Backtest in their system and see what happens.
This strategy is set to run on volume charts,, check out line 55, 56 in the code.. I changed my code to minutes just to get some trades... The volume setting may not be appropriate for ur instrument, so u will have to put a 20/50 ema on ur chart and see what volume setting gets u some crosses. This will trade 3 different time frames at once, mix and match if u want.
Add(PeriodType.Minute, 2);
Add(PeriodType.Minute, 3);
and also made my main chart 1 min
on line 95 prevents this from running on historical data ,, which is all data except for new data coming in so comment this out..
// if (Historical) return;
Thanks for your analysis! I got it working with the volume and historical setting disabled. I'm in a steep learning curve and these kind of advices are extremely valuable!
It's not that profitable replaying it. It's a good basis to write your own strategy though! I'm working on one and it's almost ready for release on the site. I hope you are willing to do some testing for me when it's available.
