I have been stuck lately while backtesting on Minimum bars required parameter - its value (20 / 40 / 100 / etc.) changes strategy results drastically.
Let me give an example - One of the parts I want to use in my strategy is 10 day ATR indicator on 5 minute timeframe. Counting with days as a whole - ((24*60)/5)*10 = 2880 bars needed to count ATR
My backtest however shows blank graph with these high values.
Question: Does it really mean I need to set Minimum bars required to aprox. 2880?
Or is it just days to load set to 10?
Is my understading of these parameters right?
Thank you for your reply.
