Hi,
I just downloaded the latest beta version 1.90.585.638 and I can't seem to figure out how to create a signal and get it to show me the results of bacttesting. Is there any help files available to show how this works ?
BackTesting
Backtesting
I already figured it out. This backtesting is a awsome feature.
The new beta also seems very stable so far on Win 2K SP4

Hi Alex,
Are there plans to extend backtesting by providing a user interface for specifying the points below? And if so, what is the ETA on those features?
1. stop losses
2. trailing stops
3. profit targets and associated trailing stops
4. Optimization and fine tuning, as in looping through different values for user variables, within user specified ranges, to ascertain which produces the best return on investment and or best wins %
5. Money management
6. Include trade costs so that could be taken into account when running back test strategies
Thanks,
Paul

As concerns the money management, you can create your own functions in PowerLanguagae, because we'll going to work on it later.

TraderLogic studies are not a strategies but indicators and the backtesting feature is not available in this case.Hi
I'm a registered user and wondering how to use the backtesting feature with customised indicators such as TraderLogic.
I can see the Strategy Performance Report function under the View menu but it appears to be inactive.
Please advise
Thanks

An indicator plots the result of the calculation on the screen, bar by bar. The result is dots, a line, a histogram or other graphical representation on the screen, which you can use to help you analyze the markets.what is the difference between indicator, strategy, signal, add-on, study, etc?
A signal plots arrows on the chart in the places where your buy and sell criteria meet. A strategy performance report is available after you apply a signal on a chart. Strategy is a set of signals (one or more).
Add-on studies are the third-party commercial products (indicators or signals). Those studies are not available for free and their algorithms are not accessible.
