Strategy Tester Period giving different P&L -- Why

New comment

However, running Strategy Tester with Period set to "Daily" vs "M1" or other periods gives DIFFERENT Trading Backtest results. (I somehow felt that we should stick to "Daily" in the Strategy BackTester")

Can anyone explain why this is so?


int OnInit()

  {

//---

   controlPanel_ComboIndicator = iCustom(_Symbol,PERIOD_D1,"TALibrary\\iComboIndicator", 0, PRICE_CLOSE); // Trading 15-minutes windows

      }
