I would like to be able to back test at least 2 months at a time--is this normally a problem. I am presently using a 610v chart on the ES which means quite a few bars per day, but I don't know what else I can do since Ninja doesn't look inside the bars very well if I use larger interval. The actual strategy triggers off a 2m data stream which is loaded into the strategy regardless of the native interval.
Since I'm looking for trends with respect to parameter changes I like to keep the top 100-200 results for plotting in Excel--is this a problem for Ninja?
I'm trying to figure out why I don't get smooth sailing after repairing data base, rebooting, reloading Ninja, etc. It's becoming rather frustrating by now.
Also, is there an advantage to running back tests while not connected to a data feed? (i.e. just using data saved on the drive?) I know in TradeStation this makes back testing go faster.
Is there a "Tips and Tricks" page for back testing so I know if there are any things I shouldn't be doing?
Thanks,
