Backtesting now possible only from year 2016?

Hey

My broker is ICmarkets

In the new cTrader Automate version I see that Backtesting now is only possible starting from October 2016.. In older version it was 2014.

Why is that?

Hi irmscher9,

Can you tell me the symbol and the account type (demo/live)? I checked on Demo and EURUSD tick data and goes back to 2014.

Best Regards,

This is still an issue, backtesting was previously available with tick data from 2012,

Please look into this, thanks,
