I have adapted my script to use the above lines and also set up BarPeriod and LookBack differently in trade mode:

Code:
BarPeriod = ifelse(is(TRADEMODE), 60, 60 * 24);
LookBack = ifelse(is(TRADEMODE), 45 * 24, 45);


I'm having some issues with Error 055 and especially 047:

Code:

Logout.. ok


I already tried the PRELOAD flag but that does not help I only have daily data from yahoo.
Now in trade mode the Lookback should be 45 * 24 = 1080. In the log it says ~2360 bars added. Yet it says 32955 min while 45 * 24 * 60 = 64800.

So im a bit confused now by the numbers.

In my LookBack calculation I assumed that 1 day had 24 bars and simply multiplied 45 day lookback times 24.
Now I want to trade CFDs that don't trade 24hrs/day.
Should I then set TimeFrame to -8 instead of -24 when the frame ends and use 45 * 8 as LookBack?

What can i do to make this work?
