I don’t understand what you mean by “get a high tick mode”? Please explain.

@michel

@GraHal and I have answered this question in another thread this week, you’ll find it here: https://www.prorealcode.com/topic/tick-mode-help/

The optimisation engine don’t avoid the old “0 bar” problem (to be faster), while the simple backtest in tick mode is the most reliable test you can have (without the “0 bar” issue).  You’ll find many discussions about the “0 bar” or “zero bar” phenomena in the forums (use the search form).

In a few words, the internal bar price movement is not checked in optimisation tool.

@michel the result of changes in price within / inside the bars / candles are ignored by the optimisation calculator.

@Seemore Profit price must be touching your stop loss 68+ times with the variable values in that ’68+ backtest’ row?

“ignored by the optimization calculator” because to calculate an optimised variable would take forever with the current optimisation engine.

However, when you select and run a set of optimised variables then tick mode kicks in (is NOT then ignored) and the results you see in the Equity Curve and in the ‘Detail Report’ are what you might expect to get running in real time / Live.

You say …  tick by tick backtest results are too good … please confirm you have enabled (ticked the box) for running in tick tick mode?
