enable the LoadMoreHistory method on back testing
07 Dec 2021, 09:46


Hello

 

A year and a half ago I suggested the suggestion below to enable the LoadMoreHistory method on back testing, however, nothing has been done since.

The current situation is very disappointing and frustrating. Whenever I need to run a simple back test I need to guess from which date to start over and over again, and even if I'm right many times I load data for nothing. making the run take much more time and less accurate.

What is going on with this feature?

Hi yuval.ein,

Your suggestion has gathered only 4 votes, so it is not a priority at the moment. Your issue can be easily solved by just starting the backtesting at an earlier date.

RE:

Starting at an earlier date solves the problem but it's far from being an easy solution as described above.

A low priority means it will never be solved, it's open for a year and a half already. I don't see why this issue cannot be solved sooner, the feature already exists on a live run.

 

Thanks

Hi yuval.ein,

There is development involved in this feature. If we devote resources in this one, it means we will have to delay features with higher demand, something that is not fair for other traders.

RE:

Hello

 

I understand that, however this issue is more of a bug than a feature and therefor should be treated as such priority

 

Thanks

Hi yuval.ein,

We do not classify this as a bug but as a new feature. If more traders request it, we will consider to implement it.
