Timeframe question using strategy tester
dmking999:
When I test an EA with strategy tester, even though I select a longer time period, the tester still displays "using M1, using M5", etc, when running the test. Is this normal?
Yes. In order to model (ie. invent) ticks, the tester uses the shorter period data as a skeleton within which to intrapolate. The availability or otherwise of that data influences the % modeling "quality" statistic.
