back test for indicators

[Ahmed Keshk]

hi all,

i want to make a back test for the MACD such that i can see the crossing of the lines while they do it and dont have a final result chart

i mean to watch every crossing for the indicator in a life back test for a certain intereval of time

can anybody advise me

thanks a lot

Backtest the example EA that comes with MetaTrader

After the backtest has run, press the 'Open Chart' button and there will be the indicator history

If you want to replay it, use 'Visual Mode' for a short period

Note that they leading edge of the indi will whipsaw much more on a live data feed in forward trading

thanks a lot for ur help

a second q

the indicator gives a signal as a horizontal line as an entry or exit points

when making back test the test draw the indicator but didnt draw the signal to back test it

as a matter of fact the signal was described by the order (objectdelete)

is this order is the reason that the back test didnt read the signal,if yes so what is the right order nto draw a readable backtest line signal

thanks a lot
