Backtesting does not work which a great amount of time units

  I previously mentioned that I noticed these empty long/short statistics already in v11. But in v12 for me it’s now always empty. But . . . I spoke to a friend who has PRT-Premium/IG. He has never noticed this problem! Now I am wondering. Is this problem showing itself only to PRT-Complete/IG users? And all of them or just a small/large percentage? And are there PRT-Premium/IG users, other than my friend, suffering too?

  Good points, unfortunately it appears lots of users either don’t read Topics such as this, else they read but don’t join in the discussion and we are left wondering … are we the only one’s??

  Hopefully some PRT-Premium/IG users will now let us know.

  If the problem is confined to  PRT-Complete/IG users then this may help PRT when they fault find on the Issue.

  Hello Nicolas (and All)

  I have created a simple twin Moving Average scenario and examples or problems as requested and set it on the attached PDF of the various issues I have been facing using PRT MTF’s (Multi Time Frames).  I am probably asking the same questions for many people wanting the same answers. In my view, the ideal world would be PRT putting out a very definitive statement / very instructional help file on how to write MTF’s

  Thanks for your feedback

  Mark

  Hello Mark. Given that this thread is on very nasty backtesting problems, maybe better to start a new thread on your MFT subject? I think this subject deserves it too.

  Hello Wim

  I’ll wait and see what Nicholas responds with before complicating further

  Hi Mark. My apologies for not being clear. I really think your MTF subject deserves its own thread. This thread carries the title: “Backtesting does not work which a great amount of time units”. In most fora “piggybacking” another subject on an original subject is discouraged. Suppose that in future someone wants to search for MTF questions/problems. Everything that Nicolas is going to answer you in this thread will not popup, because there is no hint of MTF in its title. So, I think the best you can do, for future searches and clarity, is to start a new thread with a strong title containing at least “MTF”. Kind regards, Wim
