Post subject:  history tester range bar chart has less bars than the real time one

I was wondering why the same zigzag (25,10,10) indicator is showing different values on the GBPJPY history tester 10 pips range bar chart than on the real time one..then I realized that the number of range candles are less on the backtest history chart..is it a bug or something funny ? how can I backtest a strategy in such conditions ??

thanks

Hello!

If you refer to the fact you have different number of candles in the same timeframe, you need to set up both of the parameters "timezone" and "day start time" to GMT (JForex 4 -> Preferences -> Settings -> General), because Historical tester works according to GMT by default.

Please let us know at [email protected] if it did not help.

Kind regards,
