Hi there,

Bu definition no, since it is impossible to simulate latency, slippage and other conditions that affect live trading.

RE: RE: Backtesting on Multi Timeframe

sebastien.t said: 

Good day,

thank you for your answer. 

Do you have a workaround? 

The idea of my code/bot is to check some data in the past for the H4 to know if I am bullish or bearish and the to deep dive in the 1 minute chart. 

Basically I have to go 60 bars on the timeframe and then go to the m1. Let s say I want to backtest from the 1st february, I check the H4 10 days before (60*4/24), that should be around mid of January and then I check some data on that date on the m1.

So most of the time I need to LoadMoreHistory on the m1.

Thank you

Seb

Hi there,

Your problem is here

           while (_OfTimeFrameBars.OpenTimes[0] > time_to_test){               var numberOfLoadedBars = _OfTimeFrameBars.LoadMoreHistory();

LoadMoreHistory does not work in backtesting therefore your code enters an infinite loop.

Best regards,

Hi Seb,

The workaround I use is to start the backtesting at earlier dates so that all the necessary information is loaded, while skipping all trading operations until a custom defined date. So I have a set of parameters like this

which replace the backtesting start date and I move my backtesting start date as far in the past as I want.

Best regards,

I'm also wondering when a stored TP is executed.

I'm in Tick-Data Backtester / Optimizer Mode
I had my own TP logic:
tpHit = position.TradeType == TradeType.Buy ? currentPrice >= targetTpLevel : currentPrice <= targetTpLevel;

And also set the same TP at Trade Execution direct with the SL in the Trade ID.

My code is always executed faster at a TP Level then the built in TP in Backtesting. I can't imagine why. Even if I set a threshold that my code is executed later - after the TP is reached. 
My code is executed earlier then the built in TP.

My aim was to let the built in TP close the trade if i only buy 1 lot instead of running through my code…

Hi there,

It is hard to understand your problem from an abstract description. Feel free to share source code and exact steps to reproduce what you are looking at and we will have a look.

Ok, i can't share the whole bot. It's 3000 lines of code already. But i can make an example bot to show the difference / timing of TP execution. Is the Trade TP executed OnTick or OnBar if i'm in the backtester mode?

 

If you use TP, SL or pending orders which are executed at a specific level, then you should use tick data for your backtesting. If you use bar data the results will be wrong.

Hi there,

Your problem is here

                while (Symbol.Spread != 0)    //the new part that i added is from here
                {
                    Thread.Sleep(1000);
                }       

If you prevent the cBot from receiving new ticks, the spread will never change.
