Here is one alternative egy:Originally Posted by ;
- I don't use Strategy Tester, since you've found, it is too restrictive.
- I've a script that functions as my quote host. It reads Tick information from my repository (or any time for this matter - based on the egy, I occasionally will use M1 or M5 data) and generates the charts necessary for the egy to be analyzed. These are offline charts that can behave like normal charts if used correctly. This simulator will create as many charts as needed for the egy along with any sort of chart (time, grid, range pub, tick). It will also cause baskets of pairs with any chart type for testing basket egies.
The simulator script has drama, pause, stop, and speed controllers. It also can be conducted in visual mode or not (non-visual mode is much quicker ).
- If I would like to test aesthetically (paper trading), then I'll include the applicable indiors to the chart(s) and proceed from there.
- Should I would like to test an EA, then I'll add the EA into the one of the offline charts. However, as we are in a simulated environment, I need to inform the EA to use the simulator's trading server. So, I simply set a user input on the EA into Simulator mode. Based on the egy, the EA may need several other tweaks to operate in the environment, but this doesn't occur too often.
So far it works nicely. You can step through one tick (or pub ) in a time to find a fantastic sense of the former functionality.
This sounds like it is somewhat different than what you are seeking to do inside Strategy Tester using Nubcakes EA. Hopefully, you'll find a solution that completely meets your requirements. Keep in mind, using something out of Strategy Tester could be your best option.
Good luck!
