Creation of backtests and automatic trading systems

  Dear members,

  For me, creating backtests and automated trading systems is all very new, especially when it comes to purchased indicators on the ProRealTime marketplace. I’m not sure what to do with that last one in particular. The seller has not (yet) given me support. That’s why I wonder where to start. Maybe someone can offer me some general advice?

  The backtests and strategies starting point: https://www.prorealtime.com/fr/pdf/probacktest.pdf

  And in case of needing help with basic PRT language ahead of backtests and strategies: https://www.prorealtime.com/fr/pdf/probuilder.pdf

  Dear Mr. Bywan,

  Thank you very much for your answer. I’m studying the manuals you mentioned. But these manuals do not indicate how to deal with the automatic trading systems in ProBacktest and how to set them up. I also wonder if there is more documentation (e.g. videos) in addition to the manuals mentioned.

  In Annex C of that (ProBacktest) PDF  examples are obtained. I attached the English versions just in case you don’t have them. They are for V12, so in case you work with V11.1 there’s a very small chance that something is not possible.

  Mods : It may not be a good idea to have these PDFs as attachments. I suppose they can be replaced with links (to the English versions please).

  But since I can’t delete my attachments … fee free to do so.

  Dear Peter,

  The links you sent me are the manuals I already have. And as I have already indicated in my reply to Mr. Bywan I’m studying those manuals. These manuals do not explain how to set up automatic trading systems purchased in the ProRealTime marketplace. And that is now what I would like to receive general guidance on.

  Ah Mr Lucas, right, this is obviously about your first post in this topic. I got side-tracked by the answer from JC …

  What I wanted to say yesterday – but refrained from doing so – is :

  If you feel you should have gotten a response from the seller in the Marketplace, but you never heard a thing … after some consideration I would put the question addressed to his name in the forum here.
  I think only real buyers from the Marketplace know what may be encountered, and that somehow (and some times) sellers expect high experience from the buyers or that they can guess how their Indicator and such must be called and what is returned in which situation.

  A better solution may be to contact Nicolas here so he may encourage the seller to help you or something else he deems necessary (as the founder of the Marketplace).

  I hope I served you well with this,
  groeten !
  Peter
