How to Manually Backtest Multiple Timeframes at the Same Time

In this tutorial, I will show you that I back several timeframes at the same time.

You will learn how to set up multiple charts and run them all at the same speed when you bake.

It is easy to do.

There are many software solutions that can do it, but it may not be clear how to do it, if you don’t know what to find.

How it looks at my laptop.

As you can see, I have a daily, 4 hours, 1 hour and weekly charts open.

There are many benefits to running multiple charts at the same time, about which you will learn in this tutorial.

If you usually want to get more information about backstating, how to read my backstating guide about how to back test in any market.

Well, let’s enter …

Why more than one time frame at the same time?

There are many reasons why you want to open multiple timeframes at the same time.

I think most traders will take advantage of seeing more than one time frame at the time of bacteristing.

First, when you have multiple charts at the same time, you do not have to turn back between different timeframes to test objects like axes points, trend lines or support/resistance levels on high time frames.

It can save you a ton of time alone.

Another reason for using numerous timeframes is that you can trade on all these timeframes.

We say you want to support the same trading strategy on a daily, 4 -hour and 1 -hour chart.

Having the ability to trade together on all these charts will be much faster than the individual examination at all times.

Now, I have found it a little difficult in the past.

But if you have a set -up of the rules on each of your charts, you can break your backstation every time a trading setup is in a state.

Finally, you can not only test numerous timeframes at the same time, but you can also chart several markets at the same time.

I will go to several markets in another tutorial, but for now, let’s take a look at how to set the chart.

How to configure the Backst with multiple timeframe chart

I will show how to do it with bare markets because I use it.

But this process will be the same, regardless of what software you use.

This method also works in forex tester and other software.

First, open the bare markets and start a new bacter.

Choose settings for your bacquest as well as the market with which you want to examine.

Once you finish the setup, you will see an empty chart.

Go now: File > Add a new chart > [your current market]

This will include another chart.

If you want to add more timeframes, keep adding charts as long as you want.

Then change the size of each chart so that they all fit well on your screen.

If you want the chart to grow, you can also lay the chart.

Now select each chart and change the timeframe in the toolbar to display the time frame selectors by clicking on this chart.

You can see each chart time frame in the upper left corner of the window.

Once you set the time frame for each chart, select the time frame that wants to advance all the chart.

You can do it by choosing Step Timeframe in the toolbar, with ahead Play Button

For example, if you choose a 5 -minute time frame, all the charts will proceed in a 5 -minute addition.

Click now Play Button and charts will proceed in unison, on the basis of the time that is currently selected Step Sequence

To take the trade, right -click right and enter any chart.

Since all charts are moving at the same speed, it doesn’t matter what chart you trade.

Your trade will appear on all the chart at the same time.

It is better to choose a low -time frame in general Step Sorting will show you the largest level of detail in all charts.

Doing so will also help you see how candles look at the high -time frame chart before it is closed.

Many times, traders do not wait until the candle is closed before the trade is taken.

This can lead to faster trade.

Opening the candle will help you understand the feelings that you can potentially pass as soon as you can make candles.

Well one last thing …

You can add rules to each chart to get a trade or stop the chart whenever you set up.

To do this, simply drag the principle you want to use from the folders to the left, on the chart you want to use it.

Conclusion

Now you know how to back tests on numerous timeframes at the same time.

Using this method will save you a lot of time and help you find profitable trading strategies faster.

This can be done on many different bactering platforms, so find out if your software can do it or not.
