Run it on the lowest timeframe. Higher TFs will be fine if you handle:
On MT4: Unless the current chart is that specific symbol(s)/TF(s) referenced, you must handle 4066/4073 errors before accessing candle/indicator values.

On MT5: Unless the chart is that specific pair/TF, you must synchronize the terminal Data from the Server before accessing candle/indicator values.

Hi, I have an mt5 EA that opens 4 chart windows of the same symbol, different TFs, and attaches an indicator 4 times to the charts respectively. The MTF indicator replicas communicate with the EA by GlobalVariables and the EA controls the orders. In this case can I directly backtest/optimize the EA based on the lowest TF to get the correct result without explicit synchronization?
Thanks!
