Hi,
what about using the exploration
function to show the trades for the next day?
I have a similar setup and I set
it up as follows:
set the delays from the
backtester to 0. Instead of using the delays use buy =
ref(buycondition,-1)
so the code looks somethink like:
buycondition = [your buy
condition];
buy = ref(buycondition,-1); //
since the delay is 0, this will cause the backtester to buy on
"yesterday's" signal.
...exploration code here ....
filter = buycondition; // the
filter is actually giving you tomorrow's buys
Claude
Thanks for the tip. Couldn't get it to work though.
I just reread the original question and thought it was a little
confusing. I should clarify my statement and the problem to this:
Basically I'm trying to use end of day data to determine a trade on
open the next morning. The AFL is set up to give best backtest
results on a one day delay on the buy and sell.
But even though I optimized the AFL to adapt for the delay in buying
and selling, I can't see the actual buy and sell in the results
window until after the end of day data is run. Then the results
window shows the stock should have already purchased or sold earlier
at the morning open for that same day. This causes me to miss part of
the move of the stock on purchase or sell too late.
The data that has triggered a trade is already in the system so there
shouldn't be a problem getting it to show in the results column after
running the EOD data for execution the next morning. I just don't
know how to make it happen.
Once again, I'd appreciate any more feedback/help.
