Hi,

back testing.

not sure i understand how to go about it. the periods i manage to test are really short.

i opened the time period, but i can not extend the time period.

do i need to pull it from somewhere? upload addition time?

thanks,

Lady Y

the video does not refer to the time period.

i am testing a strategy on GBP/USD 1 hour chart.

the test only goes back to 3/1/23.

i would like to test it on a full year or at list 6 month back.

is it possible? from reading on forum it seems some members test few years back.

thanks

How many units / bars of 1 Hour are you selecting?

You should be able to select 100k units just to the right of where you selected 1 Hour.
