Back Testing on Custom Time Frames?

Hey Guys

Using period converter and run alot of my stuff is on 3 minute charts, does anyone know of how to backtest indicators on custom timeframes ?

I seen the renko offline chart stuff, but for what Im doing that doesnt seem to work. Maybe Im doing something wrong. But my setup is more around supply+demand. The indicator I have only draws the most recent chart S/D zone and Im hoping to test historical data.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks, COGS

I haven't done it myself but read about it somewhere else. The strategy tester only allows you to test custom timeframes to get around this limitation you have to look into your history folder and rename your m3 period file to one of the other valid periods like m1 or m5. The best way I can imagine doing this is in a separate mt4 installation.
