Backtesting using Decision Bars

[brbiz]

Hello eSignal programmers.

I was directed here by customer service. I would like to know how to run a backtest using the Decision Bar indicators. Customer service said that you (the eSignal programmers) would write the script based on my parameters. Is that correct?

I would like to have a backtest available to run on a single stock or a basket of stocks. I would like the parameters to be:
1. Buy on the opening price following an up arrow decision bar.
2. Sell on the opening price following a down arrow decision bar.
(If we are long the stock, and we get a sell signal, the test should sell to close the long trade and sell short to open the short trade to the downside. Likewise, if we are short a trade and get a buy signal, the test should buy to close the short trade and buy to open the trade to the upside.)
3. Ability to set the time frame to back test (6 months, 1 year, 5 years, etc).
4. Summarize the number of positive and negative trades.
5. Summarize the points gained or lost on the trade.

Thanks,

Brad Peterson

I don't believe that is accurate. You may want to see the reply provided by eSignal in this post.
