I want to back test a strategy where I use the QQQ als reference but the TQQQ als unterlying. Is it possible?
It is quite often and usual to use the market index as a reference and take the other stocks as underlying. But it seems it’s impossible.
It has been said on here (in the past) that what you are wanting is to be made available in a future version.
I don’t think you overlooked it. It’s not there.
GraHal, quote(s)/links please ? Better grammar perhaps – “is to be made” ?
Later, after posting this, I thought of your recent experience in the Platform V12 – Your Biggest Annoyance Currently?? about “what’s asked for least will never be done” (my personal free translation of the message brought there) and thought, Wow if that is the way it really works, then using another instrument as a reference in your System/Strategy should have been in there for 100 years. That question I have seen passing by 100++ times.
So yeah, you’d get nightmares of it. Or perhaps sweet dreams after all.
I have once said (~ 2 years ago) that PRT must be very close because all the ingredients are there – this then is in the realm of the Calculated Instruments (in V13 now called differently, I think). There is just no reason a. not being able to do it, b. not to do it.
But yet it is still not there.
Anyway the fact that I say such things should not be any reason to think it will be there some day. That’s why
is to be made available in a future version
would be quite correct grammar. But not more than that I’m afraid.
Would we use it ?
I have given that more than once serious thoughts (being in an environment where that *is* possible surely (no names)). Maybe, maybe when I have my simple Systems under complete control I would think about that extra push for a good Entry. But for me it is a bit of a passed history because I don’t work / trade like that any more. IMHO it would be “indicators” which work on day 1 but fail on day 2. Instead I went 100% technical now (there’s not even anything to optimise any more).
Still it would be the most desired functionality which is asked for almost every day.

I started a post here, but – so’s not to hijack – I finished it on the link below.
