Hi, while backtesting my existing strategy i noted a drastic change in backtest results. I cannot understand why this can happen with same parameters since last one week. Please clarify if its because of any update/ change in the historical data / software?
There were changes due to Backtest issues - #2 by aressanch
In some circumstances backtest might give wrong entry points on tf lower than lower indicator
thats not helping then. My strategy was based on backtest data and now all of a sudden the values have somehow changed. i have been frequently checking back since i applied my strategies now suddenly there is a major change. Not sure this will give confidence to all of us as community. Needs to be seen at priority and the exact change should be communicated.
It depends on Backtest issues
Backtest timeframe is less than indicator. In some circumstances it gave wrong entry points.
I think to make it like before you need to add 15m indicator that is always true. Example, RSI < 100
If you backtested with 1 minute timeframe maybe you have to increase the timeframe of the test to match the one of your lowest indicators? Nevertheless, I think that backtests should be able to work with every timeframe lower than that of the lowest indicator, if it can adapt to the extra data.
