    I have a strategy that I want to test but the backtest will not start .

    I get the error message “Backtesting can’t start because of a parsing error in the code : Line 1,column 0”

    I want to run the strategy on the 2 Min chart and place a buy order when the close is greater than the high fractal on the 1 hour chart

    I think the reason is that you are using a CALL indicator that use TIMEFRAME instruction.

    If you want to use values from another timeframe in a strategy, locate that calculation (made directly in the strategy or in a CALL indicator) in the strategy itself and by using the TIMEFRAME instuction there.

    I have also tried that Nicholas and the backtest runs but no orders are placed
    I graphed FH and FL and they are returned as zero on the backtest variables yet when I added an indicator to the 2 minute chart to display the difference between the High 1 hour chart fractal and ther
    close on the 2 minute chart it looks as would expect
