  Hello everyone,

  I have come up with a strategy on Ftse mib, based on the idea to take the opposite direction of the market after a day in which the market has moved at least 150 points, with a vol filter because I have the impression the strategy work if volatility is not too low. I also added and antimartingala, increasing the position step by step if the strategy remains positive.

  I saw that many people are posting backtesting on 30 minutes time frame with more than 100, 000 observation. I was wondering if you can help me in extending the backtesting range in this case as it looks really cod the last 2 years but I dont think is enough to be confident to use it on real. The code is attached.

  MAny thanks.

   

  Francesco

  Hi Francesco,

  200.000 bars are available on PRT if the datastream from Prorealtime is used.

  So, if you are with IG 100.000 is the limit. I don’t know about Interactive Brokers, though.

  regards,

  Derek
