Hi, Thanks for making clear what version I need and for making clear that Denali is not required for backtesting. I thought when you update the software, it automatically goes to the very latest version. With all due respect, how can it be of value if it totally overexaggerates results and you guys even have steps on how to make a better looking backtest, using bar backtest being one of the steps, if I remember correctly. If its not as precise as the replay and wholly inaccurate, the fact that its faster seems a moot point to me. The point of a backtest is to have a good idea of how your automated system will perform live, not how quickly you can have or show results. I am pretty sure I am not speaking for just myself here but I rather have a backtesting system that is as precise as reasonably expected and within parameters of engineering abilites that takes 2 days to complete, rather then one that takes 10 minutes to complete, is far less precise and has results that can't be expected by a long shot. You guys say it is less accurate (this may be an unanswerable question)- but, on a scale of 1-10, 10 best most precise, 1 be totally and completely inaccurate- where would you rank the replay backtest and where would you rank the bar backtest? Maybe its the specific algo im using but this is why I am asking questions. |
