How To Backtest Further In The Past On Low Timeframes Education

Description

Quick video to show this little trick using the Replay mode that allows us to load more historical bars than real time, and thus get a better picture at how a strategy can perform over time.

The Strategy Tester re-calculate the results everytime we load new bars, as the indicator strategy is correctly applied to these new bars.

I got the confirmation from the awesome TradingView Support Team that the extra data that you get this way is real and relevant, and can be used to test your strategies.

That means we are no more limited to 15/30 days backtest data in the 5min timeframe for example.
