o One final unrelated thing... in reading about ACSIL, I get the impression that all sub-charts/studies running under a particular trading strategy must utilize the same timeframe. Is this correct? In other words, if I create a trading strategy, it cannot grab results from a 4 hour chart, 15 minute chart, and trade tick chart simultaneously. Did I interpret that correctly? I'm not familiar with ACSIL yet, or its limitations.


If you create it yourself, there are no restrictions (for both tests and live trading). It's a C ++ language, anything is possible ....

If you are going to use the Back test from Sierrachart then there is a limit for one chart without the overlay value function (Backtest is an OHLC tester ... beware).

If you use Replay from Sierrachart then there are no restrictions outside the length of the tested data (too long period will be very lengthy to test and at higher speeds the results may not be accurate).




For most tests and basic validation of the functions used here, Replay is enough for 99 percent people .... Read the documentation carefully. There are several types of Replay settings ....
