Long Entry at the break out price on historical data

[sachin shetty]

While working on a strategy to backtest , I am facing an issue : I want to enter long / short on break of a 30 min swing high / low. But when I use EnterLong or EnterShort methods , it enters on the open price of the next candle and not on the breakout price.

I understand that this is because of the historical nature of data, but us there any way we can simulate the long/short price to be the exact breakout price and not next candle open or close !?

Hello sachin shetty,

You would either need to use high fill resolution here or an added series to add granularity for intrabar fills. The other alternative is to use a realtime testing mode such as market replay or live data.

There is a sample of backtesting with added granularity here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ipt_strate.htm

I look forward to being of further assistance.
