Back adjusted or non back adjusted?

[7robert]

Hi, I have a question. What methodology is recommended to apply to the historical data to perform the backtesting and to operate in realtime?

Hello 7robert,

Thank you for your reply.

That would depend on your personal preference, however, the default would be "Merge Back Adjusted" and that'd be what most people are likely using for their backtesting.

I'll leave this open in case users care to chime in with what they use.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

Thank you Kate. The data coming from kinetick comes by default in back adjust? because in the connection I did not indicate if I wanted it or not

Hello 7robert,

Thank you for your reply.

The overall merge setting for the platform is located under Tools > Options > Market Data > Merge Policy. This will be applied to both real time and historical data (like in the Strategy Analyzer) by NinjaTrader when data is received from your provider.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.
