Couple months ago I came across the trendmanager indicator code from
traderstradingsystem, and because the indicator can not be backtested corectly when you only can se the closed candles and that it seems no one have backtested this indicator corectly I wonder if someone with a big heart could help me convert this indicator to forextester.
Very thankfull for any help you can provide.
Kind Regards
