Is there any way to backtest X number of bars?
-
Hello,
I'm wanting to backtest the same number of bars at different timeframes (M1, M15, H1, etc.). Let's say 1,000. Is there a way to do this via the EA?
I tried making the 'Every N bars' block the first block in the series, connecting to 'Once per bar' (previously 1st), but no luck with it so far.
Any help would be appreciated.

I don't understand what do you want to do exactly

In MetaTrader you can set start and end date of the backtest. How many bars exists in every timeframe... this really depends on what is downloaded in the History Center. And unfortunately, MetaTrader 4 is well known for it's holes of missing data. Then you have holidays - saturday and sunday - different number of bars are "missing" in different timeframes (2 for Daily, 48 for H1....), so I don't know why do you want to work with fixed number of bars. I think the time is more important here.
