Is there any way to backtest your ea on a custom period, created from the "period converter" script?

I need to test my ea on H2. I can get the chart, in offline mode and reatlime.. but the choice "H2" is not there in the strategy tester at all.

Is it possible to add custom periods in the strategy tester?

I suggest you to customize your EA to count on double H1. That's the way it is my friend.

come on! It is actually possible to use any timframes in MT4 in realtime mode.

You just use the standard period_converter script that comes with MT4. And you must check the checkbox "allow using dll's" when executing this script.

Then you should not stop this scipt nor close this chart where it is running.

...And then you can open this new timeframe chart in offline mode from the file menu but it will not be in offline actually. It will update every 2 seconds.
