Hello Martingale,

Chart type selection is not available in portfolio backtester. Only OHLC data values are used for calculation.

could we add this to next release?

Heiken Ashi chart type is available for backtesting in MultiCharts, as well as for auto trading.

could you show me how to do that in backtesting?

In your PM request you have not specified that you are referring to Porfolio Backtester. Please be more precise in your description next time.

In MultiCharts you can create a Heikin-Ashi chart (File->New->Chart->Settings tab->Chart type:Heikin-Ash) and apply your strategy to the chart to perform backtesting.

thanks.

Backtesting starts as soon as you apply a signal to the chart.
You can analyze the backtesting results in View->Strategy performance report.

isn't portfolio backtester and multicharts windows runs separately? even i don't set chart type in charts windows, i can still perform backtest in portfolio backtester. so i don't understand why i need to apply a signal to the chart windows to make the backtester using Heikin chart type instead of regular OHLC type in that.
correct me if i'm wrong somewhere.

thanks

Let me clarify it. MultiCharts and Portfolio Backtester are separate applications. Available functionality is different.

Chart type selection is not available in Portfolio Backtester. Only OHLC data values are used for calculation. That is not possible to use Heikin-Ashi chart type in Portfolio Backtester.

In MultiCharts you can create a Heikin-Ashi chart. You can apply your strategy to the chart and it will be backtested on this chart. For more information please refer to this article.
