ibarshift and currentTime
shift=0; weeklyStartHourBar = iBarShift(Symbol(), PERIOD_H1, iTime(Symbol(),PERIOD_W1,shift), false);
this gives you bar number for hourly bar for current week. iterate shift to specify weekly bar for which you need hourly bar number found.

How can I iterate over shift? I could just add one each time but then sometimes the bar is missing. How can I just get the exact time of the bar during the test?
currentTime solves that but it doenst seem to work for me.
I don't quite follow what you are saying. If weekly or hourly bar is missing then
there is something wrong with your data. the exact time of the bar is in
Time[i] for the current chart. That's the time when the bar started.
Time[i] for the current chart. That's the time when the bar started.
I was asking how I could iterate over shift. Do I simply subtract one each time start is called? Then how do I find the initial value of shift? Is there any simple way to know which bar I am currently testing?
I need to go over all the bars during the test

Alright I have solved it. I didn't realize that while running the EA, the current
bar its testing is 0. I thought 0 would be only the very last bar.
each time start function iterates. When I run the test I use the hourly chart period. I run the test from the beginning of 2006 but I always end up with weeklyBar being 0. If I manually enter a date instead of TimeCurrent() I get the proper answer. TimeCurrent() is suppose to be adjusted to the bar during a test correct? If so, why doesn't it work here.
