Hello Traders,
I'm currently trying to manually backtest my trading method on Mt4's Strategy Tester with the Vhands trading simulator and period converter indicator. MTF/HTF analysis is an integral component of my strategy. And because of the period converter indi I'm able to analyze more than one TF while backtesting. However, I noticed that there are barely any historical data past the "From date".
Obviously I can just scroll back the live charts and use that. But it's less than ideal because I'm able to see how price played out already, so there's a certain amount of bias present. The other option I have is that I could set the "From date" further away and just use the "skip to" function so that more historical data would be present. It's really time consuming though because I'd have to skip 2-3 years worth of data, which would take me a few hours.
Tips, tricks and suggestions are welcome. Thank you.
