Post From: backtest

Please I need to do a backtest by Sierra Chart (SC). Is it possible to run a test (in 5 steps) like this?

1) Start: I insert in SC an initial BUY order for a futures (for example) at Price= VWAP study at chosen a fixed time.
with
- STOP LOSS (SL) price = VWAP-3 tick (the actual VWAP value-3 tick);
- TAKE PROFIT (TP) price = VWAP + 10 tick


2) I run manually the order over a chosen fixed time period (time frame);

3) when SL or TP triggers: SC is waiting state;

4) If, over that fixed time period chart is running, the condition:
"Close Price = VWAP study"
is true
than
a) SC sets automatically my SL = VWAP -3 tick and TP = VWAP + 10 tick;
b) SC runs automatically next identical initial order

5) when time frame is over, Sierra Chart returns the net equity(in $ and %) in that fixed time frame.

I think many people did a question like that in the support board.

Hope in your answer, thank you very much.
