Control Points backtesting model

 

The drop-down menu in the tester terminal describes the control points model as "a very crude method based on the nearest less timeframe". What exactly does that entail? How does it work?

Comparing results via the 'every tik' model and control points, I see very little discrepancy.

 

'It depends' on your strategy. Scalping (trades with small pip movement between entry & exit) would also be more sensitive.

Strategies purely based on 'last bar' would see no difference at all

*edit* last bar being previous bar
