backtesting

[mballagan]

I have a strategy that runs on a one minute chart and fills orders intrabar. If I wish to get accurate backtesting can I use tick data to do this but still place the strategy on a mone minute chart?

Hello mballagan,

Yes, you can backtest your strategy using tick data in the Strategy Analyzer.

Make sure you have access to historical tick data.

In addition, you can run your strategy real-time in a minute chart

intrabar testing

But is there any way I can do intrabar order testing in NT, will this be available in NT7? Can I use tick data in any way to do intrabar order generation on a one minute chart when backtesting a strategy on a one minute chart?

Yes, you can run the strategy in a chart that receives real-time data and trade the sim101 account.

Unfortunately it is not supported to test intra-bar in the Strategy Analyzer.
