Multi-Timeframe is just one other possibility for different idealization of the past, called “curve-fitting”.

Glad to see the old Verdi55 back with some good knowledge on show (and no videos!)   🙂

I agree that multi time frame is very much another tool to help curve fit strategies but I personally can’t wait for it as it will make auto strategies easier to code if for example you want to look at the monthly candles, weekly candles and daily candles and decide that today is a good day to enter but only once the markets have opened on the hourly chart to avoid large spread. At the moment with single time frame if auto trading then you are forced to enter at midnight. The downside will be that I suspect that backtesting will then be limited to the shorter hourly chart history. Maybe Nicolas could confirm whether this is going to be the case or not?
