Diamond Backtesting with Walk Forward Manager (BTWFMgr)
(Professional Software Solutions)
Performance Differences
BTWFMgr will match the performance displayed in the tradestation Strategy Report
by mirroring all trading events as closely as possible - called
"Events", which are stored in the Event File (*.btwf2)
TradeStation exhibits a slight difference in the exit time for same bar entries
and exits:
Bar shows exit at the bar close 12:30, but the TradeList shows it in the next
bar at 15:15
These slight diufferences will show up when you compare performances as "PART-x" mismatches:
