Still possible to backtest RENKO EAs with last Empty4 Builds?

Post by PIPone »

Hi traders,

I have done my due diligence research about the topic on the web but I did not find any tip.
It seems that in the past (old Empty4 builds) it was possible with several trick and steps to BT Renko EAs.
Instead It is absolutely unclear to me if it is still possible with the last Empty4 Builds. :arrrg:
In the case it is still possible, how can we manage this task?


PS (before to be hard bashed :smile: ): I am aware that as a rule BTesting of Empty4 is little more than rubbish due to its scarce reliability and pitfalls (especially with RENKO strategies), but I am curious of it from the technical perspective and it would be at least useful to test if EA code is working as expected... :P

If you are happy with sending the candle sequence to the Strategy Tester (no tick-by-tick quality, just chart candles), then the original approach still seems to work.
