Intraday backtesting

DanaF · February 6, 2021, 6:14pm

I am using Amibroker Standard v6.30.5. I uploaded 1 minute data for ES as symbol ES_F so as not to confuse with the stock ES. I tried to run a backtest on it and it switches the timeframe to D for the backtest. I checked the Tools settings and there is no periodicity for intraday. What settings do I need to use for intraday backtesting?

Thanks.

@DanaF, what is the base time interval of your database?

It was set to EOD. I changed it to 1 min and got the same results.

Ok I can now select minute data from the tools tab.

Thanks.

@DanaF, as you probably know, to get the desired results, you need to change the periodicity also in the "Analysis settings" dialog.

I figured that out after my first run failed. Thanks for the help.
