Backtesting OnTick()
13 Sep 2012, 23:54

Hi,

If you backtest a robot that works through OnTick() so it changes position on a tick by tick basis, does the backtesting on M1 (1 minute) work on a tick by tick basis?

Thanks!

As far as I can tell it does... but I want to be sure that backtesting is done tick by tick, rather than - for example - bar by bar

Hi rupweb,

I'm also new to this but I found that both OnTick and OnBar work on backtesting. That is if you use the OnTick it will work tick by tick like you said, and OnBar will work bar by bar.
