can we backtest a multiple timeframe EA in MT4
hello
only professional mq4 programmers come in please and anwser my questions if you can.
my 3 questions are all about backtesting an EA in mt4.
i am a trader that do not know anything about programming .
- i have written some strategies for some MTF EAS (multiple timeframe robots) that need to coding as MT4 EAS
by a programmer .
all my EAS is using a built in indicator that this indicator measures market power of the pair in a single selected timeframe ,
(that single timeframe has specified by trader in a section of EA named "- strength indicator timeframe: (drop down menu)
M1......MN " ) and when market power reaches a specified amount of strength on that timeframe , indicator generates an initial
trading signal on the pairthen EA instantly have to check the last previous 2 closed candles on 1 to 9 selected standard
timeframes (those timeframes has specified by trader in a section of EA named "- price action timeframes:" that trader can insert
minimum 1 to maximum 9 standard timeframes here manually) then if on all those selected timeframes the last previous 2 closed
candles price action have a special position in relation to each other EA will get secondary trading signal too so EA will instantly
open a buy or sell position in the direction of generated signal by both signal providers.
NOTE: "strength indicator timeframe" can be the same as one of "price action timeframes" or cant be one of them.
now i want to know :
1- can a programmer code my EAS as when i start backtesting them in strategy tester mode of MT4 EA will ignore section "period" of strategy tester completely and use sections "- strength indicator timeframe: (drop down menu) M1......MN " ) and "- price
action timeframes:" instead of that .?
2- can my EAS programming as they can search for a special mode of price action in more than 1 timeframe and trade based on all of them in strategy tester mode .?
3-can i backtest my EAS in timeframes bigger than D1 (i meand W1 and MN in "- strength indicator timeframe: (drop down menu) M1......MN ") when my EA completely ignores section "preiod" of strategy tester in its codes.
after i know this i will ask you to write my EA codes based on your answers.
thank you in advance
