Ninjatarder Backtest of a Strategy


Recommended Posts

It seems the Backtest in Ninjatrader 7 are all wrong. I've tested some strategy and I've seen the final resut is big different from reality.

 

I'll explain it better: Monday I've launched in RealMode a strategy and stopped at Friday. I got a final result. Today (Saturday) I start a backfill and the result is big different than the Real Mode.

 

Where am I wrong? it seems impossible this mistakes for a professional platform as NT. Have you also seen these differences?

 

PLS share your experiences regarding this issue.

 

 

NB: in Real Mode I 've used timeframe 5 min and/or Renko

Was the result you got after the backfill better than real mode?

 

a few ideas :

are you basing the strategy on a higher time frame and/or larger renko bars?

are you using the open for entries?

Is your system redrawing?

 

Many thanks Orfiila for your replay,

 

I have take this strategy: https://www.sendspace.com/file/hkonpo

 

Whit this CS I've got in this week a quite positive return. But how you can see the backfill show a result big different

 

tested on FGBL 09-18 Renko 9 ………..defaut strategy parameter except: V1=25 ; Min Bar Required = 2

 

 

 

 

 

I am aware this strategy will most likely be a loser after a severe test ... but I do not understand the difference between backfill and realmode.

You didn't mention how much slippage you're giving your trade entry signals in backtesting. If it's not to the level of what you observed in real-time, that's most likely the reason for the difference.

 

That won't give you better results with your current issue--you need to load a secondary data series, 1 tick data, and then when you use your enter (ex. EnterLongLimit), the BarsInProgress needs to be set to the 1 tick data series. This will give you pretty close to realistic.
