I'm very new to the software and have started using the strategy analyzer for SPY trades on a 3 minute chart.
I set up a simple strategy so that when the MACD crosses the 0 line to initiate the buying of positions. However, whenever I run the test, I find that the backtester won't initiate the buy until about 4 bars in, which cuts into my profit and is not representative of when I would actually purchase. Would anyone know how I can fix this problem on my backtesting or if there is a setting that I'm missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated
