Hello dubaigoldholding,

Can you please tell me what instrument you selected to backtest.

Do you load all requested data when you backtest the ES 09-12 as per the dates you like? You can check the Chart-tab in the Strategy Analyzer to see how much historical data is loaded. More information regarding backtesting strategies in the Strategy Analyzer can be found at the link below.

Im using Vision finantial with ritmic as provider could you tellme how load more data to get more year in my backtest?

[NinjaTrader_Jason]

Hello GAVETSO,

You load data as per the From and To dates when you backtest. If you like to increase the amount of historical data, please use the From and To dates to load more data.

i do that but always get backteats at least 24/7/2011 why?

[NinjaTrader_Jason]

What instrument do you backtest?

Do you load all data if you backtest the ES 09-12 from 2010 up to today?

Hello,

Under Tools--> Options--> Data tab, what do you have the "MergePolicy" set to? Make sure this either on MergeBackAdjusted or MergeNonBackAdjusted

Specifically, what interval are you backtesting on? Minute or tick?

I'm also trying to backtest a system on the TF for the past 5 years. A while back I purchased a cheap historical data pack that I have found a couple differences and no longer trust.

I have Kinetick and Zenfire subscriptions. I'm fairly certain I could backtest in 3 month chunks doing each one on a different contract (TF 09-12, TF 06-12, etc). However it would make it a lot easier if I could merge them. I currently have it set to MergeBackAdjustedData but I'm wondering if this will cause problems since a lot of my trades rely on previous day's data and different gaps could change things.

I'm in the Instrument Editor right now lookking at the Contract Months and notice there is nothing before 06-08. The last couple also do not have offset values. Is this because kinetick/zenfire do not have data before this point?

I'm trying to avoid getting bad data in here so any suggestions are appreciated.

[NinjaTrader_Matthew]

Hello,

Yes, this would be due to no data available during that point. You would need to add your own New contract months and define the rollover date/offset value.

[shazzmoe]

do you know where I can obtain TF data earlier than this?

[NinjaTrader_Matthew]

Unfortunately I do not have the range of data which is available from the vendors nor do we have any official recommendations.
