Requotes in Backtest. How to solve them?

New comment
 

Hi,

I am getting requotes in backtest when backtesting from 2019, getting the EA into some trouble for making the right actions.

I have tried m.symbol.RefreshRates but it makes no difference, even before closing each order.

I do not think in real it would give a requote having a refresh just before closing the trade, it looks a bit absurd to me. 

How can I solve that issue?


Thanks in advance. Good help is always appreciated.

The article provides the results of testing a simple trading strategy in three modes: "1 minute OHLC", "Every tick" and "Every tick based on real ticks" using actual historical data.
 

Typically, users make these mistakes:

  • initially set a very small value of the "Slippage" parameter
  • do not update quotes

Scaaaary... my Slippage was at 300.

I just changed broker. I was testing with MetaQuotes Demo account. I guess it works like a 'market maker'. It is not giving me any requotes any more on STP or ECN. 

 

Who could ever trust such BT? 69 days without ticks...
