Hi All,

I what to backtest a trading strategy
for example:
- Buy voor 7000 Eur ING stocks, one stock cost 10 Eur.
- Sell if the stock 0.12 Eur cents higher.
- Buy when 3 SME is above 5 SME is above 8 SME.
I already create the alert trigger.

How to work out this example from the start

Note:
I already try the "Auto trade system replay back test. the replay is working bud if I go to the "Trade activity Log" I do not ING in ALL Symbols part.

Best Regards,
IWan

did you actually construct the trading system via spreadsheets or acsil? or did you just set an alert?

That will show you the trading signals, but in order to make it take simulated trades you to make it a trading system. Take a look at the spreadsheet system for trading in the help files. Similar kind of syntax as it is to programming the alerts. Not too hard to use.

This question is not within the scope of our support. We can only refer you to the relevant documentation:

https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_AutoTradeManagment.php
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_Backtesting.php

But as has been said, you do have to create a trading system using either the Spreadsheet System for Trading study or the Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language(ACSIL).
