From what I understand, Ninjatrader doesn't support intrabar. However, that is very hard to believe. Ninjatrader, which is one of the best trading platforms out there, is the only one that doesn't support true intrabar.
For instance, with MT4, you can have a strategy using hourly candles and set the backtest for tick data. So let's say that your strategy is based on a moving average cross. Then, as soon as the moving averages cross, you'll instantly enter the trade. So you'll see actual entrance times as 11:28:17 or 2:48:21 or etc, instead of 2:00.
So where I'm getting at, I feel that there has to be a way that I can program things to make my strategy do this during the backtest. I feel like I can make some very profitable strategies if I can just get my hands on the right technology. From looking at the many platforms out there, either they lack important features, don't support intrabar, or is very, very buggy.
So I hope that Ninjatrader has something that could help me out. Also, I don't think many people wait until a bar closes to enter a trade. When something looks good, they get in early to take advantage of the big move. So for the life of me, I don't know why Ninjatrader doesn't support something so essential without the need of very complex coding (if even possible).
Thanks for your assistance.
