prorealtime backtesting -- when is the new backtesting engine available( with tick data)

Question

Hello,

 

Currently  the current version of prt that IG uses does not have intra candle data and hence strategies are showing incorrect results as it doesn't know whether stoploss occurred before target achieved.

PRT has released the new version in Otober 2016 and how long we have to wait to get that version of PRT.

 

Autotrading is useless with current version of PRT and kindly make available  new version of PRT asap.

Hi Team,

 

No matter what i do on Pro Real Time i only get 2 years of back test data ?

 

Back test data only goes as far back as 2nd October 2015, i have tried setting a date and also using the chart areas which changes as normal but once i run the back test it reports my dates  always from 2nd October 2015  to current date ??

 

Please advise.

Hi  if you change the time frame and number of units at the top of the chart with the backtest on it will give you more data e.g. 10000 daily units on Wall Street goes back to 1976 when I tested this.

 

If that doesn't solve it for you please send in a technical report via ProRealTime so we can look into this and flag for my attention: Help > Technical support > Automatic Trading. Ensure you allow authorization to view your code as this will be needed to recreate your issue.as well as steps to replicate, then send the report.

 

Thanks!

Great - That works now. Had to use units on the graph to modify the back test time frame. For some reason if you chose some other time frame in the back test configuration window itself it doesnt work. You must set the graph to the time frame and in units.

 

To clarify further if you set the graph to anything other than units i dont think this works for back testing , only for the chart display.

 

So if you want to back test play with the unit size and you should get there .

 

Thanks

Hi , thanks for the post.

 

Our aim is for all clients to be updated to the latest version in the coming months and ideally by the end of Q1, however this is very much subject to testing and work volumes so we cannot set a date I'm afraid.

 

Many thanks for your patience in the meantime!

 

Thanks,

Hannah

Thank you for your reply Hannah,

 

Its good to know that the goal is to make the new version available to IG customers. I just wanted to say thank you and throw my voice behind this issue. It is a very crippling one. I don't personally use the auto-trading feature but it obviously effects back-testing and means that I am unable to reliably use PRT for backtesting.

    • Traditional banking systems served as the gatekeepers of financial services for long, dictating how people access loans, save, and invest in opportunities. Typically controlled by a centralized system with a single authority such as a bank or government in total charge, this centralization is limited by high fees, restricted accessibility and slow transaction speed. Dentralized finance, DeFi, got introduced as a blockchain-based financial system that removes intermediaries or central authorities, and utilizes smart contracts instead. By eliminating intermediaries, DeFi delivers core benefits like improved accessibility into the financial system for everyone having internet connection regardless of their location. DeFi is also valued for its transparency. While traditional banking system often deny customers audits on how their assets are being managed, DeFi, through the help of blockchain allows anyone access to tracking and auditing transactions, thereby raising trust. Furthermore, DeFi also offers various financial services and products like DEX, lending and borrowing, stablecoins etc, all known to proffer varied innovative solutions, while operating 24/7 in contrast to traditional finance. DeFi isn’t flawless as issues like insecurity, lack of consumer protection etc are still prevalent; however, the growth of DeFi has been impressive; since its introduction, the total value locked in DeFi protocols has grown significantly indicating that the demand for DeFi services is fast growing. DeFi seems to be redefining financial industry by offering an alternative to traditional banking systems. With the increasing adoption, can we expect to see an overhaul in the way we access financial services?        
    • Leverage is good but please use it according to your risk management system coz the higher the leverage the higher the risk, I trade my perpetual futures on Bitget tho, the exchange offers high leverage but I only use according to my risk management system.
    • Yeah, BGB is designed to create a simple, secure, and accessible crypto ecosystem. It offers exclusive benefits to holders so I believe it worth holding from my analysis.
