Check out the slides and the recording of our workshop on BTX and how it can expand your possibilities under NT8! Also make note of our new membership packages!

But first, a quick summary of backtesting in NT8. The basics:

• ATMs cannot be backtested in NT8.

• Therefore PRO STR cannot be backtested since it uses an ATM.

• But there’s a workaround which is always available, subject to downloaded data: Market Replay (called Playback in NT8).

• BT does not show historical data on the chart (because it never took them). BT will show trades on the chart, though, that it took going forward.

• BTX does show historical trades on a chart.

• With BTX, it’s possible, in the Strategy Analyzer, to backtest long trades only or short trades only or both. Backtesting by direction may be of relevance in certain situations, e.g. for those who never short stocks.
