[arnaud pizzirani]

hi

i have an EA place on a regular 1minute chart

that trace an offline chart base on constant range bar

 You may convert your offline chart to a testable one. It is not quite comfortable, so I use a script for it.

The generator probably created obsolete hst file format, which was used prior build 541.  Though reading v.400 format chart was re-enabled in the MT4 some time later, yet I had no reason for its implementation to the script (it would be the same effort as fixing the generator the other way round).

does it's work with your range_bar indicator ? http://ovo.cz/offline-charts-for-mt4/range-bars/ 

you really have a nice indicator range bar, i'm gonna use the try period and see.

Apologies, I cannot discuss this software here, only the free scripts.

Hi!

Today I found the solution.

In external params add the following line:

extern int TimeFrame = 2; // if you use M2 offline chart

For indicators use the following (for example RSI):

myRSI = iRSI(Symbol(), TimeFrame, RSIPeriod, PRICE_CLOSE, 0);

In strategy tester select M1 timeframe. All your indies get values from M2 offline chart, however you backtest on M1.

I tried it, and it works.

Sorry for my English.
