Different results with different timeframe settings in Stratetgy Tester

 

Suppose I use the Hourly bar of a technical indicator for some order entry (this period is hard coded into the EA).

eg iAC(NULL,PERIOD_H1,....

When testing using the Strategy Tester, shld I use the H1 or M5/M1 timeframe. I noticed the results are vastly different. I assume that M5/M1 are more accurate as they reflect more accurately the incoming ticks?

 

May not be more accurate or relevant - depends on modelling quality, see 'What the Numbers in the Expert Testing Report Mean'
