Strategy development modes

[delTik]

koganam is correct though, you need to wade through the manual to start with. Second, download the sample and provided indicators and strategies on this forum. That is how I started. You download, import, and run them on your machine and see how things go together. You will learn lots from this. Third, sign up for Big Mike Trading site too as an Elite member, there are lots of examples there you can download.

I would start with NT8 myself if I was starting new. I am sure we are about to get NT8 beta 11 very soon, and this would be a good starting point.

Your questions are basic, and expected for someone new to NT, but we do expect you to do your homework too. There is no substitute for wading through this stuff first. Time in.

thanks, yes very willing and able to do my own homework but the answers on this forum have helped me a lot. also found some good stuff on youtube.

given all the help on this forum + NT guides I would probably now revise for initial question to:

When writing a strategy are there 5 modes to consider?

handling strategy through real-time bars when:
mode1: trading real-time
mode2: trading simulation

handling strategy through historic bars when
mode3: backtesting strategy
mode4: playingback strategy
mode5: loading strategy for trading real-time

any comments appreciated.

PS. if correct maybe admin could rename topic e.g. "Strategy Development Modes"?

I am unsure what you are requesting. Were we able to resolve your query? Did you need any additional information from us? Are you just requesting that we change the title of this thread?

[delTik]

yes please. if the Strategy Development Modes look ok could it be renamed "Stategy Develeopment Modes" for future reference?
