Backtest Settings

Faster Backtest with Lower Accuracy: Backtesting with ESB can be time-consuming for certain strategies. If this option is enabled, ESB predicts ticks to update indicator values, thereby reducing the volume of computations. This speeds up the backtest, but with a slight reduction in accuracy depending on the strategy. This option only affects results during backtesting.

Time Shift for News File: If you are using the news engine in backtesting, you need to download the allnews.* file from https://www.EasyStrategyBuilder.com/Downloads and copy it to the Files folder. If you require a time shift for the news in the backtest, you can set it here. The shift is in minutes, allowing you to adjust news times. This is useful if the downloaded news file doesn’t match your time zone.
