Backtest PRT bouncing problem. What is it and is it still a problem?

  I’ve seen a few references to the ‘PRT bouncing problem’ and I’m keen to understand two things.

  1. What exactly is the problem?
  2. Is it still a problem or has it been resolved as some of the posts that mention it are quite old.
     Many thanks

  Robert

  Hi Robert

  The bouncing issue is more commonly referred to as zerobars / zero bars / 0 bars and ‘tick-tick mode backtesting’ in PRT Version 10.3 ‘helps’ to give more accurate results.  Zerobars is a fairly complex topic to explain, watch the video and read the thread (links below). If you then ask any questions you may still have on the thread below then this will enhance the thread below as a central source for all the Community.
