Backtest is not right with the indicators with realtime data

[Uregon]

Hello, when I make an backtest the indicators are not 100% the same like in realtime data.
So when I make a backtest all results cant be right.

How can I make the backtest like this, that all is like in the realtime chart. ?

Hello Uregon,

Thanks for your post.

Please review the help guide document on the differences on real-time vs backtest (historical).
http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...ime_vs_bac.htm

A strategy running real-time (live brokerage account, live market simulation, Playback connection etc...) will produce different results than the performance results generated during a backtest.

When in historical data, only the Open, High, Low, and Close will be available and there will be no intra-bar data. This means actions cannot happen intra-bar, fills cannot happen intra-bar. All prices and actions come from and occur when the bar closes as this is all the information that is known.

Because of this, OnBarUpdate will only update 'On bar close' as it does not have the intra-bar information necessary for 'On price change' or 'On each tick' and the script will not have the intra-bar information to accurately fill an order at the exact price and time.

Below is a link to the help guide on Calculate.

To improve the accuracy of a backtest, you may use Tick Replay along with an added 1-tick series to have logic processed intra-bar and have orders filled intrabar.

Tick Replay would be used to have the logic process OnEachTick or OnPriceChange with historical data, but this does not allow for intra-bar order fills. You would need to add a single tick data series and submit orders to that single tick data series for a strategy that uses Tick Replay.

High Order Fill Resolution allows for intra-bar order fills with historical processing, but is not compatible with Tick Replay.

You could also consider using the Playback connection for testing your strategy as if it were running real-time.
