Hello Martingale,
Chart type selection is not available in portfolio backtester. Only OHLC data values are used for calculation.

Heiken Ashi chart type is available for backtesting in MultiCharts, as well as for auto trading.

In MultiCharts you can create a Heikin-Ashi chart (File->New->Chart->Settings tab->Chart type:Heikin-Ash) and apply your strategy to the chart to perform backtesting.

Re: Backtest using Heiken Ashi chart type
isn't portfolio backtester and multicharts windows runs separately? even i don't set chart type in charts windows, i can still perform backtest in portfolio backtester. so i don't understand why i need to apply a signal to the chart windows to make the backtester using Heikin chart type instead of regular OHLC type in that.Backtesting starts as soon as you apply a signal to the chart.i set my chart to heikin type, just not sure how to apply chart type to backtesting, would you show me Henry.

Let me clarify it. MultiCharts and Portfolio Backtester are separate applications. Available functionality is different.isn't portfolio backtester and multicharts windows runs separately? even i don't set chart type in charts windows, i can still perform backtest in portfolio backtester. so i don't understand why i need to apply a signal to the chart windows to make the backtester using Heikin chart type instead of regular OHLC type in that.

Chart type selection is not available in Portfolio Backtester. Only OHLC data values are used for calculation. That is not possible to use Heikin-Ashi chart type in Portfolio Backtester.
In MultiCharts you can create a Heikin-Ashi chart. You can apply your strategy to the chart and it will be backtested on this chart. For more information please refer to this article.
