Get Better Backtests with High Order Fill Resolution in NinjaTrader 8

Video Intermediate Backtesting NinjaTrader 8

Previous Next

One way to improve your backtests in NinjaTrader 8 is to use High Order Fill Processing.

As with everything in trading, there's always a trade off. High order fill resolution gives you more precise order fills in your backtest, but it can also increasing processing time, sometimes dramatically.

That's why I like to test in Standard mode most of the time and then only run with high order fill processing as a sanity check once the strategy shows some promise.

Of course, the backtest is only the first of many tests you should do before trading a strategy live.

Risk Disclosure

Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing one's financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
