Hybrid backtest -- manual entry
Because I am using Renko bars I have been tediously using a spreadsheet to record every trade to backtest. Of course when I want to look at a different stop or target I have to start over again which is pretty involved considering I have maybe 1000 trades recorded. Is there any way to start with a series of manually indicated entries on the chart (due to the complexity of my rules and the Renko issues) and then use Ninja to test various stops and targets? I think there is some software that will do this but it's pretty pricey. Any thoughts welcome.Tags: None

While there isn't anything that exists like this that I'm aware of it would be possible to do something like this with a custom script. A supported route I can think of would involve making a list of entry prices and times and placing those into a text files. You could then have your script read the values from the text file and place trades accordingly using adjustable stop/target values.
One thing to keep in mind is that while this will eliminate some of the backtesting renko issues, you still will not know the high/low values of each bar. I'm thinking you could reduce this issue by using a secondary series to get more granularity in your backtest.
Let me know if I can further assist.LanceNinjaTrader Customer Service
