I'm assuming you were thinking that I was looking at multiple old results
That was my assumption.I personally don't like the Bar Based Back Test. - It won't work with multiple charts using overlaid studies. - It doesn't seem to work well with intrabar signals, nor with exits via Attached Orders. - It seems less accurate with short duration bars and bars that are not time-based. - It seems to only work well with long duration time-based bars with close-of-bar entries and exits. IMO the most accurate backtest is a manual Replay Chart using Accurate Trading System Back Test Mode, with a very short Processing Step. This usually means that the test is exceedingly slow, compared to the Bar Based Back Test. So I would suggest you try using a manual Replay Chart on one of the symbols to confirm that your system is signalling accurately. Auto Trade System Back Testing: Replay Back Testing - Manual |
