  Hi,

  back testing.

  not sure i understand how to go about it. the periods i manage to test are really short.

  i opened the time period, but i can not extend the time period.

  do i need to pull it from somewhere? upload addition time?

  thanks,

  Lady Y

  the video does not refer to the time period.

  i am testing a strategy on GBP/USD 1 hour chart.

  the test only goes back to 3/1/23.

  i would like to test it on a full year or at list 6 month back.

  is it possible? from reading on forum it seems some members test few years back.

  thanks

  How many units / bars of 1 Hour are you selecting?

  You should be able to select 100k units just to the right of where you selected 1 Hour.
