Hi everyone,

I'm looking for something but it's difficult to explain:

I'd like to backtest something manually. The problem is that if you go back in time the "chart shift" disappears and the chart is completely filled with bars from left to right.
To do this in a better way I would like to have "chart shift" constantly on. Even if I go back to 5/5/2013 on the 1min chart for example.

The other thing is that I'd like to move only one bar forward everytime I hit the right arrow key.


Do you know if this is possible?

Take off the autoscroll & chart shift, then use F12 button to move chart at the right hand edge one bar at a time.
It never gets easier, you just get better

Use the Strategy Tester with a simple EA and advance the Strategy Tester window one bar at a time with F12
20 pips a day isn't too much to ask . . .

If use every tick option, the chart advance 1 tick at a time by pressing F12 ... Am I missing something ?
