Hypotheical Profit Targets

[Driftintoad]

Hi there.

I would like to know if it is possible to create hypotheical profit targets in backtesting. What I am wanting to do for example, lets say we are in an uptrend, is find the highest high before the 50 ema begins falling and then exit the current position at that high even though it may have been 20 bars ago. I know this is not possible in realtime. However this informatiom will give me insight into what entry strategies provide the largest moves and then I can create money management strategies to take as much profit as possible out of them.

I can provide more information if required.

Thanks

Ash

Hi Ash, I don't this will be possible in strategy backtesting to achieve, since you could not execute at those #'s in the past to tally the stats. However you should be able to recreate the hypothetical PnL a custom value to assist in optimizing your exits.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Thought that might be the case. No prob. Will create a work around.

Thanks
