I run my strategies on daily bars, and have noticed that the Strategy Performance Report never includes the last day bar. When I go to Daily Period Analysis to see the day-by-day performance of the strategy, it always stops at the day before the last day.
This happens with every strategy and instrument I've tried, and with both MultiCharts and the Portfolio Backtester. Is this a bug or is there some setting I need to change? I'd really like to be able to see a strategy's performance for the most recent day.
Last day not included in Strategy Performance Report?
Re: Last day not included in Strategy Performance Report?
After further studying this issue, it seems that MultiCharts is combining the last day of the chart and the day before the last day and reporting them both together in the Strategy Performance Report under the day before the last day. So if I have a chart with daily bars through today, 3/22/11, the Daily Period Analysis of the Strategy Performance Report will show the gains/losses for 3/21/11 and 3/22/11 combined as the gain/loss for 3/21/11. And there will be no entry for 3/22/11.
This seems like a bug to me. Has anyone else noticed this?
