Visual Backtesting Suggestions

[hometradingblog]

Hi;
I would like to do visual backtesting in NT that cannot be coded in a script. Following would be a nice to have function.

Within a workspace have all charts connected to a backtest feed, which ideally should read the data of historical data already in NT. Then choose an end of the last bar to be displayed in the charts. Ideally this can be done via a control panel. This should also provide options for:

- Continue to read data (e.g. one minute OHLC) every x seconds
- Have a button to fast forward
- Jump forward or backward

In an ideal world I would be able to execute trades as well.

If doing this in the entire workspace is too difficult it can be restricted to one chart as long as it still works when switching timeframe or instrument.

I am currently doing this using the Global cursor which sort of works except it's easy to peak in the future when scrolling through the chart.

If above is already possible in NT please let me know otherwise please add this to your future development requests.

Thanks
Thomas
