Hi, I discovered Multicharts which seems good. However, I have a specific requirements and not all backtesting software can fulfill it: I need to backtest and have entries on intrabar levels, not just OHLC values, or next bar open. For example, after 3 down candle, I might want to buy when price crosses up latest down candle high, right at this level, not necessarily on next bar open. With another software, what I do to resolve this is use a 1 second chart, and compare values to same chart on 5 minute time frame which Is the time frame where I have my signals. So when 1 second chart crosses high of the 5 mn chart, i'm in. This way allows me very precise backtest. Can this problem be resolved in a similar manner with multi chart ? If not, how ? Thanks, Koros
you can enable IOG. IntrabarOrderGeneration will fire off (*) your order as soon as the condition is met. (*) technically "fire off" happens at the next tick.
the market order can only be sent on the next bar "if condition 1 then but 1 contracts next bar at market;" as far as i know you cann't compile any market order to be executed on the next tick...
