How To Set Backtest Date Range
https://www.tradingview.com/script/62hUcP6O-How-To-Set-Backtest-Date-Range/
Example of how to select and set date range window to be backtested.
Normally when you change chart period it changes the number of days being backtested which means as you increas the chart period (for example from 5min to 15min) you also increase the number of days traded, so you can not compare apples to apples for which period would yield best returns for your strategy. Now you can.
