Post From: Back test accurate mode?

Every time the graph reaches the weekend it stops, this is something that happens and it is very cumbersome!
Make sure this option is enabled:
Replaying Charts: Skip Empty Periods

At that time lower the Replay Speed to 1 and then once it is skipped over increase the speed again.


On the other hand, I would like to know which baktest system is more reliable since in the documentation I saw that there are several accuratte and tik by tik

In the trading window there are three options and every time I do a replay I get a different result?
I don't understand that with 4 condition formulas and two studies there is so much room for error

Tick by tick best testing is very slow and impractical. Accurate Trading System Back Test Mode is really what you would want to use. We do not know why there would be a variation. That is very difficult to analyze in each particular case. We can only refer you to:
