Backtest on a different timeframe

Run a second simulation so you see how timeframe choice changes modeled behavior.

Do this

  1. Open Backtests → New.
  2. Target the component-backed strategy from step 4.
  3. Use the same asset if you want a clean comparison, but pick a different timeframe (for example, 15m if the first run was 1h).
  4. Confirm candle coverage for that timeframe, then run.
  5. Compare trade count, holding time, and equity shape against the first backtest. Differences are expected.

What you should take away

Timeframe is part of the experiment design. Later, each bot instance will bind its own timeframe, so practicing two simulations now prepares you for multi-instance bots.
