Testing a strategy against multiple instruments and timeframes

[burtoninlondon]

Hi,

I have a strategy which I'd like to run against a number of different instruments and a number of different timeframes to determine which returns the best results.

Currently I have to run each test with a specific instrument and timeframe then change them manually between each test...is there a way to automate this process within NinjaTrader?

Thanks,

Neil

Hello Neil,

It is possible to select an instrument list to run a basket backtest of several instruments.

It is also possible to select an instrument list when adding strategy instances to the Strategies tab of the Control Center, to add an instance for each instrument in the instrument list at the same time.
