Strategy Testing

[kipper]

Can someone tell me if a stategy still works OK on a market replay chart and do you need all the indicators on the chart that you have built into the strategy?

Also can someone please have a look at this strategy and tell me why it wont work, it is my first time at arranging a strategy.

Hi kipper, congrats on the first strategy - you will want to check the Control Center logs for errors. If there are no errors your conditions are probably just not evaluating to true all at the exact same time.

Yes, the strategies do work in Market Replay mode, you don't have to add the indicators, but it makes the trading signal accuracy check much easier...for a tip how to plot them from the strategy - http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...ead.php?t=3228
