Hello everyone.
I have a question about cBot, in which, after building a cBot and added a currency under it, there is "Timeframe" to choose.
My question is why there is a "Timeframe" to select? since we can just select our the Timeframe on the graph.
Moreover, during Backtest, using the same cBot without adjust anything, but select different Timeframe, the results are almost the same, so why there is a Timeframe for us to select? (as we can select it on the graph already).
Thanks!

Dear alpha_austin,
Thanks for posting your questions in the forum. Regarding the timeframe selection, indeed you can select it either from the chart or from the cBot parameters. It is just two ways of doing the same thing. The purpose of having the timeframe in the cBot parameters as well is better usability as it allows users to see all the parameters affecting a cBot at one place.
Regarding your backtesting results, they depend on the cBot itself. In order to provide an explanation to the cBots backtesting resutls you will need to provide us with the cBot's source code.
Best Regards,
