== Setting Maximum Bars Back ==
All signals based on past data use a certain number of bars for their calculations. The number of bars is called '''Maximum number of bars a study will reference''', or '''Maximum Bars Back'''.
<br>
Maximum Bars Back value is set from the '''Properties''' tab of the '''Strategy Properties''' window:
# In the '''Maximum Bars Back''' box enter the maximum number of bars the signals will reference.
<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">Note: The Maximum Bars Back value should not exceed the '''cannot be smaller than 1''' and '''cannot be greater than actual number of bars plotted on the chart'''. This value shows how many bars a study requires to be calculated before it can place first order on the chart. It means that '''there can be no orders or any other visual output on the X number of bars at the beginning of the chart, where X = MaxBarsBack or Maximum number of bars a study will reference'''.</div>
