The same behaviour for back testing and optimization of Multitimeframe cBots is essential
I am currently porting my MT5 EA's to cTrader/cAlgo due to a lack of Australian brokers that support MT5 and the fact that i see great potential for cTrader. If I am to be successful in porting my Indicators and EA's, I need to be able to properly backtest and tune them.
Since nearly all of cBots will use multitimeframe indicators, it will be nearly impossible for me to finish the project. The only option I can think of at the moment is to forward test using sereral demo accounts and manually optimising the settings or create my own backtesting tools. This will be very time consuming and I may have reconsider if cTrader is mature enough for me to continue this project.
I sincerely hope that this issue can be resolved soon.
