Backtesting

05-11-2017, 03:40 PM

In reading the guide, if I'm correct backtests only use OHLC data at the completion of each bar. If I'm to incorporate a strategy using "OnPriceChange" or "OnEachTick" then I'm out of luck using backtesting? Is there a way around this where I can calculate strategy decisions "OnPriceChange" or "OnEachTick" while using a standard time frame for my bars (instrument price) ?

Hello DuggyLou,

There are options for intra-bar granularity in backtest.

Please see the following post where I get into detail about this.
