This may be a relatively simple question but I'm having trouble with it.
I'm trying to backtest indicators on different time frames. Lets use the MACD or Stochastics as an example. Everytime the Stochastics or MACD does a bullish cross up I want it to be tracked. I can set trade rules as needed to determine the best result. Do I need to change any coding to view this on a monthly or 30min chart?
Thanks

I'm trying to use the backscan feature, not backtest.

You do not need to change the coding of the Conditions. You need to change the Bar Interval used for the Conditions. If the Condition is still on the chart, the Bar Interval will normally be based on the Bar Interval of the chart since the Condition in BackScanner will be linked to the Condition on the chart.
BackScanner will also normally use the Bar Interval of the chart as the Bar Interval for its trades as well. It is possible to change this however. In the upper right hand corner of the Rules tab in BackScanner there is a drop-down menu which allows you to adjust the Bar Interval manually.
