In the following code the EA is working perfectly fine if I drag it into the chart

But in the strategy tester it shows the previous bar high and low and not the daily (tested on the 5M chart)

[ . . . ], I did some research on this problem, but apparently, so far, there is still no (simple) solution... Objects can only be included/viewed in the timeframe selected in the Strategy Tester and are deactivated in other timeframes as a way to speed up the process . You can see below some topics in the English section of the forum that report the same difficulty:


 

On MT4: Unless the current chart is that specific symbol(s)/TF(s) referenced, you must handle 4066/4073 errors before accessing candle/indicator values.

On MT5: Unless the current chart is that specific pair/TF, you must synchronize the terminal Data from the Server before accessing candle/indicator values.
