Sestiere: I'm running some backtests and noticed that the strategy tester with some instruments (forex) works well, while with indexes (date range set from 1 jan 2019 to 2023) starts in 2021, as if didnt see data before that year.
My data is fine and I can open a chart and see the chart until 2014. Anyone have any ideas?
If you are running back tests with "real ticks", please be aware that tick data does not usually go back as far as the M1 data, and this can cause issues if your test period goes back too far.
Bring up the Symbols panel (Ctrl-U) and verify how far back the data goes, for both the Bars history and the Ticks history.
