Emulating Ticks to Accelerate Multi-Indicator Testing
Summary
The document describes a revised script for emulating ticks during indicator testing, with support for managing multiple indicators. It says the example demonstrates how to include an indicator using a linear regression indicator, and that the inclusion approach is also explained in the indicator code. The script therefore appears aimed at speeding indicator development or checking by providing a test mechanism that can handle several indicators.
The description offers little detail about how tick emulation works, what makes it faster, or how its simulated ticks compare with real market data. It reports no benchmark, accuracy assessment, or trading results. It also notes that the indicator generates a unique number automatically at its first start, without explaining how that number is used. This is a short implementation overview, so it supports a basic understanding of intended use but not an evaluation of testing fidelity or suitability for strategy backtests.
Key ideas
- The revised script emulates ticks to support faster indicator testing.
- It can manage multiple indicators.
- A linear regression indicator is used to demonstrate indicator inclusion.
- The document gives no speed benchmark or evidence about the accuracy of simulated ticks.
