Does anyone know how to back test a fib pivot point bounce?

I am trying to back test a fib pivot bounce and for whatever reason, I am dont think I am inputting the correct parameters in strategy builder. Does anyone know how to configure this?

Hello DayTradingDEMON,

I'm not familiar with an indicator named 'Fib pivot bounce' is this a custom indicator you created yourself or one that you imported from a 3rd party.

Are you not meaning an indicator but specific logic you have coded into your strategy?

Hi Chelsea, I am talking about the fibonacci pivots indicator that is in Ninja Trader. I am not currently trading a set up with fibonacci pivots but I want to test the results of price touching a PP on a higher time frame than the daily and I also want to test the results of deeper s/r on specific instruments.

Hello DayTradingDEMON,

Thank you for clarifying.

Below is a link to the help guide on this indicator.

You can use an added series as the input series for the indicator.
Note, with a Day series, the indicator would only update at the start of each session unless TickReplay is abled and Calculate is set to OnPriceChange.

On the Additional Data page, you can add the 1 day series.

Below is a link to a video of selecting that series as the input series for an indicator.

Sorry I know how to use the indicator and I dont need the coding for it since I am not trying to program my own indicator. I want to put in strategy builder if price touches a specific pivot point, then enter long or short, to see the results vs historical data. Is there a help video for this indicator in strategy builder?

Hello DayTradingDEMON,

Below is a link to a video showing how to use CrossAbove or CrossBelow to see if the plot was touched.
