Hello,

I have been starting a few days writing some bots in calgo but I have a problem in backtesting.

Since in the backtesting the data are taken from the M1 bars, how can I do if I want to open a trade at the H1 bar opening? How can I choose the timeframe?

Thanks

Hi antoninocanale,

The cBot operates on the chart's selected timeframe. So if you select your chart's timeframe to be H1, then it will operate on H1 bars.
