How to backtest a discretionary strategy ?

[traderlxm]

Hi,
is it possible to backtest a discretionary strategy in NT?
I mean I would like to go let's say 1 year back in time and go manualy day by day and simulate trading (placing orders, stop losses etc.) on daily charts. Placed orders could be even based on minute or other bars based on real historical data. After I would go step by step day by day through the whole year with my strategy a would evaluate the results.
I hope I've explained my question clearly.
Is there a way in NT how to do this?
Thanks a lot for your answer.

Hello juanrdteleko,

Thank you for your post.

While you cannot run an ATM Strategy through a backtest even when called through an Automated NinjaScript Strategy, you can use Market Replay to replay the market. This means you can place the manual trades with the ATM Strategies in Market Replay and then review the results via the Account Performance tab of the Control Center.

For information on Market Replay please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...ket_replay.htm
And for information on the Account Performance tab please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...rmance_tab.htm

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.
