indicator generation lag in backtesting??
texasron:
Where would you like the data to come from that is before your "range" ?
when I code an EA and backtest on a time range the EA doesnt start testing at the beginning of the range, it doesnt have indicator values immediately--can be over a month for something like 200mva--can I test from the beginning of range ??

The tester only creates 100 bars before the start time.
can the number of prerange bars be changed?--different indicators kick in at different times making the first trades/time comparisons inaccurate!-------
texasron:
Yes, start the test run at an earlier date and return(0); at the beginning of start until you ave reached the actual date you want to run from.
