Re: [amibroker] 4 weeks candles/backtesting

 

I'm aware that "monthly" is available, and I'm using it already, but I wanted to backtest it and then possibly trade using 4 weeks candles starting on Monday, so I'd have full weekend for checking signals and placing orders.

best regards

Hello,

You are overthinking this.

"I'm backtesting some strategy using monthly candles "

Just select MONTHLY from "Periodicity" combo. That's all. Monthly interval is built-in.

I'm backtesting some strategy using monthly candles and I thought that it would be much more convenient for me to use 4 weeks candles. I could prepare orders over weekend, instead at last day of month.

I'm aware of Preferences / Intraday / Custom time intervals, but I cannot use "weeks" there. Of course 4 weeks = 28 days, but when I use 28 days bars, the bars start at some arbitrary day of the week (I suppose it's the day of the week of the first bar).

Is there some easy solution for this?

best regards
