Test of Backtest

  Hi All,
  I’ve tried as GraHal said, but the list is not complete. Maybe I have too much orders for all TS (max 500 has written)
  Anyway… there are no refused orders.

  The very bad news is that I tried on a demo account, of a friend of mine, that the backtest fails with this particular ts.
  I’ll try with others.
  I’m in touch with prorealtime support and I’ll signal this.

  This is the partial list of the orders.

  hello Mauro,

  I have had the exact same problem and after speaking to IG i was pointed out  that if you are using trailing stops on your program then the result will be different because apparently the back test doesn’t read the value for stop trailing.

  i take this opportunity to ask a question myself, i have a simple program i wrote and used on paper trading, then started using on live account and works ok but stopped working on the demo account and gives me an error, “the trailing stop increment is below the minimum required. The minimum increment amount for this market is 10 amountperpoint”.  in fact the increment is automatically set at 5 points and cannot be changed so i cannot figure out how to change it.

  i contacted tech support gave them access to the code but had no answer.

  thanks All for the support

  Antonio

  Hi Antonio

  You said …

  in fact the increment is automatically set at 5 points and cannot be changed so i cannot figure out how to change it.

  Are you saying that IG or PRT told you that a Trailing Stop is automatically set at 5 points?

  Hi Mauro

  Did you look under the Rejections / Refusals tab to see if any entries there?

  Cheers

  hello GraHal, yes they told me the the increments for trailing stops are automatically set , Not the trailing stop itself
