Good news today!
The tick by tick backtest mode is finally available for everyone in the 10.3 Beta version @ prorealtime.com
Don’t ask me when it will be released for IG, I don’t know, but it is now time for everyone to test this beauty with all others features released with the new build on live server (manual trading report, scalping interface in orders book, etc..).
This will be the thread for main testing of the new backtest engine, so don’t hesitate to post here your results, questions and other things of interest about it.
Great! Thanks for letting us know Nicolas 🙂
I made a small video about it (in French sorry) on the new YouTube channel (English videos to come…)

Very good news 🙂
There is still some missing (a lot) in Prorealtime
Liste au père Noel pour la v10.4 🙂
But we can hope it is just the beginning
Enjoy 🙂

Excellent, hopefully this will reduce the differences between backtest results and automatic trading results
The English video is here:

Please be fair with my ‘froggy’ accent 🙂
When you mentionned to be fair with your froggy accent, I braced myself for Raffarin-level (“ze yes needs ze no to win ze yes”), but it’s more than ok, you pass the English video test with flying colours!!!

Hello Nicolas
when choosing oil 1 hour chart i can go back to 2011 and does that mean it will tick test all the way from 2011 ?? does prorealtime really have that much of data in tick mode?
It depends of the instrument, but I can make the test if you like. What is the ticker you’d like to be tested?

Is it possible to use tick bars in proorder 10.3?
(i mean instead of a bar made of time its made out of ticks)
Bonjour
Ca ne fonctionne pas sur ma 10/3 aujourd’hui
il y a t il un problème ou cela ne fonctionne t il que sur certains instruments ou sur
certains timeframe???

@Eric
Nope, still not possible.
@Madrosat
Les backtests en tick/tick ne fonctionnent que sur les instruments pour lesquels tu as un accès live bien entendu, pas ceux dont tu n’as que le ‘end of day’ / ‘fin de journée’.
Tous les timeframes peuvent être backtesté en tick/tick par contre.

@Abz
I do not have real time access to these ones. Got world wide indices and forex major pairs only sorry.
