I'm currently coding an automatic trading strategy for Ninjatrader only because I know how to get that done easier at the moment, but I was wondering if there was anything specific I should know about backtesting that Sierra can do better. My strategy trades daily bars, but I need to access intraday bar info for my entries and exits which I believe Ninja cannot do. Can Sierra do this? I need the Open and pre close prices to determine if I will exit on those days at those times. Thanks |

Here is the documentation for back testing in Sierra Chart: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_Backtesting.php My strategy trades daily bars, but I need to access intraday bar info for my entries and exits which I believe Ninja cannot do. Can Sierra do this?
We think the best way to do this is to create daily bars from Intraday data: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_SessionTimes.php#CreatingDailyBarsCustomSessionTimes And perform a replay back test. The bars will form during the replay and then you can access the necessary data. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.
