Dear Support,

I have realized my error and was wondering how to fix data snooping?

Currently i have a simple moving average from a longer time frame overlayed on a chart.

Then i have a spreadsheet for trading on the shorter time frame chart for trade signals.

Running my first couple of backtests i realized the amazing results were because of data snooping errors.

How can i fix this and still use two time frames? IE 1 minute with 10 minute???

Your help is greatly appreciated.

If you are using the Study/Price Overlay study, then refer to the documentation here:

There are many inputs which control the referencing of data between the 2 charts.

Max's information is valid and useful; it might be that you require an alternative view depending on what you are trying to do.

Are you talking about automation or a visual discretionary issue User?
