How accurate are range bars
How accurate are range bars

Guys my bots are doing incredibly well on backtesting with 5 pip range bars but on live, it seems to have got many of the trades wrong. Any tips for me? Should I increase the pip range?

Yes I am doing that, on live demo the trades didn't match the backtest trades. And on range bars you backtest with the range bars you are using, its in the drop down, I didn't know that before either.

Run it on Demo, see how the trades are playing out, and re-evaluate your strategy.
Also make sure when running the test simulator that you're using tick data rather than M1 bar data
