BACKTESTING in SQX vs. TDS – Bars before

1 replies

4 years ago #247471

Hi!

Let say I have data from 2003.05.05.
But I want to backtest just from 2004.01.01.

In TDS (Tick Data Suite) I have the option to set up, if I want that MT4 counts also bars before data:

– if I set it for a certain value (let say 200 bars before), it can be of course, that I have trades already on 2004.01.01.
– if not, it can be, that I have the first trade several days later, let say just on 2004.01.05.

But in SQX? How does it work? Does it count also the previous bars / existing history data or not?

Brg and thank you!

Risk Disclosure:
Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure:
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
