Hello,
If you want raw signals, whenever possible use backtestRegularRaw, instead of Raw2.
As explained in the manual,
"Raw2 modes are "special" for advanced users of custom backtester. They are only useful if you do custom processing of exit signals
in custom backtester procedure. They should NOT be used otherwise, because of performance hit and memory consumption Raw2 modes
cause"
Custom processing of exit signals means that you DO NOT EXIT your position on first exit signal that occurs when position is open,
but you *ignore* one or more exit signals and act upon some late signal.
If you do not do the above, you should NOT use Raw2 mode because it is much slower.
The code below DOES NOT do this, therefore should NOT use Raw2 mode.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
