Hey @Nicolas,
How much slower is the tick-by-tick test compared to testing without tick data? Have you run some tests?
If you backtest with a variable and have tick-by-tick enabled, does it then show 0 in the tick mode column?

I did not detect any significant slowdown yet. The engine only test each tick of a bar if it detects that a price may have triggered one of the price level we have in the code (takeprofit, stoploss, conditional orders, etc.).
The optimization module is not possible with tick/tick mode, it is always made with the open bar test only.
Hi Nicolas
Is this available on the IG PRT Platform or only in V10.3
This feature is only available in v10.3. IG still in 10.2 version.
Hi. Great looking addition. Do you know if or when IG will be moving to v10.3?
Yes they will, but I don’t know when really .. sorry. Be sure that when I’ll know it, everyone here will be informed! 🙂
I was told: “hopefully by the end of the year.”
Hi
I am with IG but really want the version 10.3 features now. Is it possible to get v.10.3 directly from ProRealTime so I can use it for backtesting?
Yes you can register at prorealtime.com to get the 10.3 beta version.
