  • Missing data is requested from the data vendor's historical data servers;
  • Missing bars appear on the chart;
  • Realtime bars appear after backfilled bars;
  • The studies are not recalculated, they are calculated the regular way on the backfilled bars;
  • If there are any orders generated on the backfilled data and the auto trading is enabled - they are not sent to the broker.
