Point and Figure Strategy

[samish18]

Are there any issues with backtesting on a point and figure strategy, like those with Renko, Heiken Ashi and LineBreak?

Hello samish18,

Thank you for your post.

Yes, this is noted on the Help Guide page for Backesting a Strategy:

"A certain level of discrepancy between realtime and backtest results would be expected, especially on more exotic barstypes like Point & Figure and Renko, please also review this page for more details."
