Backtesting using Unmanaged Orders

[tornadoatc]

Hello,

I would like to understand wether the Unmanaged Order concepts and all the Events associated with them can be used in Backtesting a Strategy?

For instance, will the following Events be processed when backtesting a Strategy:
OnOrderUpdate > OnExecution > OnPositionUpdate.

IOW, can I code a Strategy to use Unmanaged Orders and expect the strategy correctly place the orders in same maner in Realtime without modification to Strategy?

More importantly with reference to using NT8.

Thanks,

Hello tornadoatc,

Thanks for your post.

Yes, all those events will be processed in a strategy backtest, in both NinjaTrader 7 and NinjaTrader 8.

Please review the following for the differences between real time and back testing:
