Same bar Exit

[sashe71]

During a backtest due to the lack of granularity inside the current bar it's impossible to tell whether a trade would reflect a real life situation.
What would be the best way to restrict the Strategy Analyzer to close position within the entry bar? This is for Strategy wizard NT7 using Profit Target (ticks) as the exit condition

Hello sashe71,

Thank you for your note.

There would be no way within the Strategy Wizard to add intrabar granularity for use in backtesting - you would need to unlock the code to add the necessary secondary data series. We've got an example in our help guide on how to set this up:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/backtesting_ninjascript_strate.htm

You can import this through File > Utilities > Import NinjaScript. Once imported, you can open it under Tools > Edit NinjaScript > Strategy. You can then review the code, test it, and modify or use parts of the code to fit your needs.

Alternatively, you can download Market Replay data for many instruments that you can use to playback your strategy as if it was running in real time using the Market Replay Connection - as Market Replay data does have intrabar granularity, you are able to run a Strategy on each tick instead of on bar close.
