  Hi,

  I developed a code for the 1 hour timeframe but it can only be backtested on IG ProReal Time for approx 2/3 months. How can I perform backtesting over a longer period, say 6-12 months?

   

  Thanks

  adeelq79 – I have moved your post to the ProOrder forum. It is a question about backtesting using ProOrder so that is the correct place for it and not the General discussion forum. Please try to post in the correct forum with future posts.

  You have either 100k bars or 200k bars depending on your account type (Premium = 200k). 100k bars on the 1 hour time frame = about 4 years of data. Have you selected ‘100000 (x) units’ at the top of the chart?
