Are you tired of being able to see the future while you're backtesting? Have you ever clicked to a higher timeframe in bar replay, only to realize you've just seen everything that's going to happen before you've had a chance to test it? If you've had this problem, Backtest Helper is here for YOU.
All you have to do is set a start date and time, then set your desired timeframe in minutes, then you're off to the races.
For example, if you're a scalper that uses the 15 minute as their higher timeframe, set your start time at the 14th minute of the session you're testing and set your line spacing at 15 minutes. This will mark off every 14th minute on the charts. Now you know the exact moment you can go up to the 15 minute timeframe!
On our 1 minute timeframe, this is how we'd look with the above settings. The Backtest Helper has marked off the 14th, 29th, 44th and 59th minute.
When we go up to our 15 minute, there's no issues. We're seeing the candle we want to see and not the next 15 minute candle.
You can use this for any timeframe. Just make sure you set your start time to at least 1 minute before the close of the candle and your line spacing to the higher timeframe (in minutes) you want to target.
