changing chart data on live algo trading

donnellyx68

Hi All, i am currently testing a bot and i had great results when backtesting with D1 data from the server and not so good results from m1 data from the server even though the currecy chart was still on D1, since ive started my live trading test the bot is behaving like it is running from m1 data from the server instead of the preffered D1 data from the server, but i cant see any oprions to change this in the live trading window. Any suggestions on how to fix this?, Thanks! PS. i have put some images below for reference

Use tick data as this is more accurate and includes the spread of the symbol.

When you trade live you will not need historical backtest data as it is real live data as it happens, the spread is with every tick of data, I suggest you backtest with tick to be as close as possible to how live data will behave.

@"Mike"#p2955 how many ticks is the most accurate to live data to optimise with?
