Default Proper setup to backtest on historical data

I am trying to find out the correct way to set up a eurusd chart to use the say 1 min bid ask data on say a 60 minute bid ask chart to give as close to accurate results as possible....been searching around but haven't found the definitive correct solution??

I need as much accuracy as possible....Please Help!!!!

Just add the 1m bid, 1m ask, 60m bid, and 60m ask dataseries to your strategy, then run it on whatever chart you want.

So that is all I have to do so that the buys use the ask and sell will use the bids of the minute data....



THANKS

Well if you want to do that, there would be more stuff you would have to add to your strategy, but adding those dataseries to your strategy would be a start.
