Why am I getting the backtest results only for 3 months after clicking on CTB? I want to get backtest results for 1 year on a 5 minute timeframe chart.
@ninjatrader the backtest is run depending upon the chart timeframe selected by the user.
For 1 min candle interval, the maximum backtest period is 30 days from the start date.
For 3-30 min candle interval, the maximum backtest period is 90 days from the start date.
For an hour candle interval, the maximum backtest period is 365 days.
For a day candle interval, the maximum backtest period is five years.
If you want to view the backtest result of a specific period of your choice, you have to manually change the Backtesting Start and Stop dates in the Backtest Parameter segment of the strategy.
You can run the backtest in batches to view the backtest results of the period exceeding the maximum backtest range. For example, if you want to view the backtest result of 1 year on a 5 min timeframe, you have to run the backtest in 4 batches of 3 months each.
