Live Trading & Forward Testing

  • Live trading, forward testing and backtesting are one and same event, and chart.

  • The back-test will continue running, testing new live bars one by one, a live forward test. The vertical blue line marks the end of the backtest and the start of the live forward test.

  • The two results can thereby be compared, and should be the same except for slippage.

  • Indicators will always be valid when an ATS is set to live trading (if backfill of the charts was done).

  • Technical indicators from the virtual strategy will be "running" and the trading will be valid from the first live bar.

  • Without this feature, one would have to wait till the technical indicators become valid.
