Backtesting – time intervals

absent1980 · Thu, 28 Jul 2016 17:09:02 +0000

Hi, I just wondered if anyone knows how to test a system in different time intervals (not time frames)? If your system is designed for bull markets then there is no point to to do last 5 year backtesting because results will include all sort of market conditions, including sideways and bear markets. At present we can pick only one time interval at a time, however there is no way to obtain a full cumulative report for several time intervals together which would give you more reliable data.

You can make conditions based on date. Please have a look at instructions of “Date and Time” of the documentation here: http://www.prorealcode.com/documentation/category/dateandtime/
