Hi varun RahulM,

Currently, candle close is only applicable for overall settings.

To reduce the slippages in the option buying strategy you should use limit orders for entry and exit, as well as add 1% slippages in the backtest results to get more realistic result.

you mean live trades (momentum, sl n trgt) will be taken on ltp only?

Hi varun,

Please refer to Candle Close to understand the complete implementation of the candle close feature on AlgoTest.

AlgoTest__Support__Sahil Hi Sahil, thanks fr this info .. it means that algotest will use ltp fr SL n trailing SL in live trades even if i have selected candle close in execution settings?

AlgoTestSupportSahil

yes @varun sir. Some features like SL and trail SL based on option premium are still on LTP even if you select on candle close.
