I'm trying to run a backtest for my strategy using the strategy analyzer / optimization / walk forward optimization.
I have market replay data for 4 years back all the way till yesterday.
I am trying to run a backtest correctly starting from 01/01/2018 to say 05/01/2019 for the S&P Emini (ES) contract.
In the strategy window, when I select the Instrument (ES 06-19) and the start time frame: 01/01/2018 and end time frame 05/01/2019
I only get results back for end of February till end of March. What is correct way to get it done for entire time i'm interested in?
I'm assuming i shouldn't be connected to "Playback connection" Should i be connected to "Kinetick End of Day free"?
My Live account is for IB, but i don't think IB let's me throttle the historical data that far back.
Please let me know how to correctly do this.
