Please add customizable timeframes in Forex Tester Online

Feature Request

Hi team,

Right now, the available periods are still quite limited, and for some trading styles that makes the platform hard to use as a full analysis and execution tool. A lot of traders use multi-timeframe workflows that depend on non-standard periods, and at the moment there’s no good way to recreate that properly.

What would help the most is not just adding a few more preset periods, but letting users create their own custom timeframes and save them.

For example, some useful custom periods would be:

  • Minute-based: 7m, 14m, 72m, 144m

  • Hour-based: 2H, 3H, 5H, 6H, 7H, 8H, 12H

  • Day-based: 2D to 13D, 25D

  • Week-based: 2W to 10W

  • Month-based: 2M to 12M

This would make FTO much more flexible for traders who use structured top-down analysis and custom timeframe models.

Thanks for considering it.

How does this impact your experience?

    Dear @Quim Romero ,
    Thank for your feedback.

    We're already working on adding more standard timeframes to the platform.

    Just so you know, you can already add several of the timeframes you mentioned (like 2, 3 and 10 minutes) yourself. Just click on the timeframe dropdown menu and select the "Add Timeframe" option at the bottom.

    We'll keep you posted as we add more built-in options.
