5. How to use multiple synchronized charts

Myfxbook Backtest supports multiple charts within the same session.

This allows you to analyze:

  • One symbol on several timeframes
  • Several related symbols
  • A higher timeframe for market direction
  • A lower timeframe for trade entry
  • Correlated or inversely correlated markets

All charts are synchronized to the same simulated market time. Advancing the replay on one chart advances the other charts as well.

Opening a multi-chart layout

  1. Select the chart-layout control in the top-right toolbar.
  2. Choose the required layout.
  3. Select a symbol and timeframe for each chart.
  4. Begin or continue the replay.

For example, you could analyze the same symbol using:

H4 → H1 → M15 → M5

The H4 chart can be used to identify the broader trend, while the M15 or M5 chart can be used to locate an entry.

Symbol limit

A single backtest can use up to five simultaneous unique symbols.

Opening the same symbol on several timeframes still counts as one unique symbol. For example, EUR/USD on H4, H1, M15 and M5 uses only one of the five available symbol slots.

Before placing a quick BUY or SELL order, confirm that the correct chart and symbol are active.
