If you wrote your own bot, then you do it in your code by modifying the position and reducing the volume of your position when your criteria are met.

Sorry for being unprecise, but I meant manual backtesting without a bot or even indicators. Just looking at the chart and using a little bit of intuition.

 

I am using hedging for some time now and you can get out of bad trades by partly closing positions quite well. But I can not do that in replay mode or I did not find the option to do this.

Just double click on your order in the order window and the modify order window comes up.

Reduce the volume of your position and click to update your order.

I tried doing that before because I know this works in live trading, but in replay mode nothing happens when I double click. I am afraid that it is just not implemented yet :/

Just submit another report. Candles take about ten seconds to load now in some cases. Minimum load time seems to be at least one to two seconds, which is still kind of laborious, sadly.

No, different market data did not make a difference.

I submit a report, but have not been able to backtest all that much recently. Hope the report helps so far, although at the time I submit it the issue was not as significant as it has been before.

Hi,

sorry, have been on vacation and didnt see the reply.

Will do that soon, thank you.

One thing I didnt mention before is that the chart data is provided by Pepperstone, but I dont think that this is of importance. Will open an account with blackbull markets shortly and see if this makes a difference.

Best,

Daniel
