Panagiotis, what about after the visual backtest has finished? Technically the bot is not running anymore, so why are we not able to change the timeframe then, but keep the backtest trade history?

After the backtest finishes it is possible to change the timeframe
After the backtest finishes it is possible to change the timeframe
How do I do that? When my backtest finishes, I am unable to change the timeframe on the backtest tab, the options are greyed out. Changing the timeframe under the Algo left panel does not update the backtest window timeframe either.

Hi there,
It looks like a bug. You should be able to change it from the instance.

Hi Panagiotis,
I can indeed change the timeframe from the instance as per you screenshot, but the problem is when you change it there the chart on the finished backtesting tab is not changed, it stays on the timeframe of when you ran the backtest.

Hi Beyers,
The timeframe will change as soon as you start backtesting again.

Hi Panagiotis,
I think there's some misunderstanding here. I do not want to rerun the backtest on a different timeframe. I want to for example backtest on H1, and when the backtest finishes change the timeframe on the backtest window to M30 or M15 to analyze in more detail what actually happened in the lower timeframes, while still keeping the trade history of the H1 backtest. I'm fairly new to cTrader and automated trading in general, but I would've thought this would be a common scenario for testing and finetuning?
Maybe I could to set the cBot timeframe as an input parameter (H1), and then run the backtest with M15 timeframe? Or would this not be possible?

Hi Beyers,
Ok understood. Such an option is not available at the moment.

Hi Cnicholasdownie,
No this is not possible and we do not have plans to add such an option. You cannot change the chart timeframe while the cBot is running.
