Post From: Backtesting in 3-line break or BetterRenko charts

Thank you. It is clear now.

Yes, I am using that "standard" 3-line break study, and as you have mentioned, it does function correctly in a replay backtest. However, if a bar-based backtest is performed, the same occured - the chart was "corrupted" and the entries and exits of trades are not correct. Please see the attached pictures.

Could that be fixed (or have I overlooked anything)? The bar-based backtest is far more convenient than replay for system prototyping.

On a side note, BetterRenko IMHO is a useful study. I suggest keeping it (no matter it can be back-tested correctly or not) unless there is a similar alternative. Thanks for your consideration!
