I am new to Ninja Trader and back testing programmed strategies. I am learning day to day.
I hope my question is not too simple.
I read this in the help files "During a backtest you can select conservative or liberal fill algorithms which will produce different results. Fills are determined based on 4 data points, OHLC of a bar since that is the only information that is known during a backtest."
All my trading strategies I want to back test are on the 3 minute candle stick chart. Basic breakout strategy, buy/sell on a calculated entry/stop/profit target price. So using the OHLC 4 data points will not help much.
Questions:
1. How can I obtain high resolution historical data to use with the Strategy Analyzer?
2. Do I need to purchase a data feed from here https://ninjatrader.com/support/help..._strategy.htm?
3. When I am running my strategy in back test do I select 3 min like on the attachment?
4. What is the purpose of 1 second bar chart like in the attachment? And can this somehow help me with obtaining the tick data feed I need rather then buying data.
Thanks,
