Hello
I don't understand why, when I set a number > to 500 bars, my backtest doesn't work...
I can backtest from 21 february 2014 to 31 march 2014, but I can't backtest from 01 january 2014 to 31 march 2014.
However, I have set a continous contract for future CAC40 (FCE). My datas market provider (IQfeed) offers 7 days of tick data during trading hours and 180 days after trading hours.
If I set 500 bars, backtest begins 21 february...
If I set 2000 bars, backtest begins 28 february...
My chart resolution is 200 ticks.
Anybody has an idea?
