Multi Markets

The Multi Markets tool can help you compare how your strategy preforms on different markets. In a sense, this is a robustness test tool. The general outlook of the Multi Markets is similar to the Comparator. However, on the left-hand side you do not select interpolation methods. Instead, there you can find symbols.

1. Markets

This area shows you the symbols you can select. To add and edit symbols use the Control Panel. The Multi Markets tool uses the same Data Source you have selected in the Editor.

2. Multi Markets Chart

The chart shows how the strategy preforms on the markets you selected. The color of each line corresponds to a different market. You can see the legend on the right side of the chart.

The Multi Markets tool does not use shorter periods data, than the one selected. For the ambiguous bars, (if there are any) it will use the interpolation method selected in the Editor. Even without shorter periods data, the backtest with pessimistic interpolation method is reliable enough.

There is a little “catch” here. The markets differ in dynamics. They also differ in direction. For example, the EURUSD market is opposed to the USDJPY in a sense, since in the first pair the USD is the main currency and in the latter one USD is the second currency in the pair. It is not very intuitive, but this is a good robustness test too. The strategy should work in various market conditions no matter if you are following the trend up or down.
