Backtest indicators

Post by sherinhamad »

i downloaded data from oct 2 to dec 2. it was working fine

then i downloaded sep 4 to dec 16. works fine as well but when i open the chart after backtest finishes, there are no indicators that i have in the EA. when i keep everything the same and copy back the first downloaded data, the indicators show up ??!.

Hi Sherinhamad,

I can't immediately think of why this might be. Perhaps give a try with a standard EA first (such as MACD Sample) to make sure everything works. Other thing might be to check whether you have exported sufficient data (for example, if you are exporting & viewing a 12 week chart, an indicator would not show if it was MA(13) on a weekly chart.

Hope this helps.
