    Backtesting Futures Contracts

    I want to backtest my Future strategy for 2-3 years, but each time i need manually set up ''Start date/End date'' of each contracts.
    I can use Mergenonbackadjusted data, but Start date/ end date need to change of each contracts.
    Is there a way run strategy analyzer for several pre-defined time firames ?

    Hello,

    Unfortunately there is no way to select or create a time template, as the date range will need to be chosen each time.

      My workaround is to add "Rollover" condition and, if you want to backtest swing trading strategies that may run for more than a month, it should be useful to mimic real conditions as much as possible.

      Of course, I told you just the tip of the iceberg, you'd have to code the logic yourself, but if that's what you want, you got a direction.
