Nothing has changed, we will be releasing beta to an initial wave of testers at the end of this month. Details on the announcement are not yet known at this time.
I have a question regarding the Periods tab on the Strategy Analyzer.
On the Graphs tab, I see a dropdown labeled "Time Base" to select Exit or Entry times to distinguish which period a trade belongs to.
Unfortunately, on the Periods tab, such a dropdown does not exist.
For the Periods tab, it appears that the trade's Exit time is (always) used to define which period the trade beings to.
For trades with Entry/Exit times that cross a period boundary, it would be helpful to choose Entry time to define which period that trade belongs to, rather than always using Exit time.
So my question is:
Does NT8 Strategy Analyzer allow the user to select the "Time Base" Exit vs Entry time (ala the Graphs tab) on the Periods tab?
I mean, if the Entry/Exit times cross a Period boundary, how can one control which Period the trade belongs to?
PS: When backtesting, it would be very helpful to see the Period results based upon the time of trade entry. For ex: the question "For all trades entered in first hour of ES's open, how did those trades perform?" is a question the Periods tab cannot answer. Am I wrong?
