A problem with iBarShift - page 2

Keith Watford:
It has been reported in a number of topics that multi timeframe indicators do not display properly when attached to a chart in the tester. However, in my experience an EA that calls the indicator and then prints the value will get the correct value.

Hi, Keith. I am not aware of that issue, could you point me to such topic ?

 Is it really true that you cannot backtest an EA that uses multi timeframes indicators in MT4? :(

There is no problem to backtest a multi timeframes indicators with MT4.

That's not what Keith was talking about :

...multi timeframe indicators do not display properly when attached to a chart in the tester

that's not the same.

Yea you are right, I just thought that maybe it's somehow related. And I didn't read the 2nd page of the thread :p Sorry
