It seems like even if you change the range setting, the chart starts several days before randomly.

When you start backtesting there is a number of trendbars that are already presented in MarketSeries. Robots can build indicators based on these bars so we decided to show them on a chart as well.

Ok, that sounds good.  But how many trend bars will be displayed.  Whats the logic used to determine how far back before a date range the back testing will go?
