Hey Everyone,
I'm playing with the Elder Impulse example file from this site. I've tried adding/removing and otherwise adjusting it, but I keep getting the same rather odd result.
Everytime I papertrade it, or backtest, it keeps giving me consistent small losses of either $5 or $10 per trade 90-100% of the time.
I don't understand it, because when I look at the actual roundtrip trade in the backtest tool, it clearly bought at a lower price than at which it sold, hence there was a profit, but the NT backtester says -$10.
Anyone else have this problem? Does this make any sense?? Unfortunately I neglected to collect my broker's copy of the paper trades, so I can't prove that NT is just calculating this wrong, but that the trades made any money.
It is entirely possible that i'm blind to something here....
