Backtesting different results
09 Sep 2024, 18:38

Hello! So I’ve built a really effective trading strategy that works really well in backtesting on m1 open prices from server when it’s on non visual mode, but when I switch it to visual mode or change it to tick data instead the bot just looses everything. Is it possible to change a setting so that my cTrader bot always uses m1 data open prices instead of tick data in live trading?

It is if you're using a bot. 

You would just have your bot execute it's logic on every new bar (OnBar) instead of every tick (OnTick)
