What timeframe do you recommend starting with and why?
- AAI_PROGRAMMING
Thank you for your question.
We recommend starting with the H1 (1-hour) timeframe.
Here is why:
-
Proven Backtest Performance
The backtest results shared on this page, which show a +624% gain (Profit Factor 17.62) over 10 years, were specifically generated using the EURGBP H1 chart. This timeframe is what the strategy was primarily tested and optimized for, demonstrating its long-term viability. -
Strategy and Timeframe Alignment
The "Fade Breakout" (counter-trend) logic of this cBot is well-suited for the H1 timeframe.
It effectively filters out the market "noise" and false signals that often occur on shorter timeframes (like M1 or M5).
At the same time, it generates more frequent trading opportunities than daily (D1) or weekly (W1) charts, allowing the strategy to compound effectively.
- Compatibility with Internal Logic
The cBot's core functions, such as calculating Stop Loss, Take Profit, and Trailing Stops based on the Average True Range (ATR), are most stable and effective on an hourly chart. The trade history image also confirms that positions are typically held for several hours to several days, which aligns perfectly with signals generated on the H1 timeframe.
