Updated backtesting results — Hi, It was just before bed before I posted my results so I missed taking out a variable I had set to always take 'short' trades regardless of weekly momentum. After I removed this and ran the backtest again I get ...

Hi DiallistThanks for taking the trouble of posting a chart. Guess what! We're both right I shifted my 'start of day' to 2:00 rather than 0:00 and now my 4 hr bars have the same shape as yours. Interesting point to note 1) My close on the bar 8 ...
