When you are using indicators that consume data from other timeframes on backtesting, you need to make sure that they get enough data from the other
timeframes so that they can display the correct values for the date the backtesting starts, also indicators sometimes need more data to be OK.
Bars.LoadMoreHistory() is great for that puprose but much to everyones surprise it is not implemented for backtesting and optimization.
This has been an issue for a while now and Spotware told us it was by design (later on it was not implemented) and gave a workaround to start .backtesting
earlier and wait until the wanted date has arrived.
It is indeed a workaround and an ugly one too. It makes alll our lib routines that are based on calculating timebased things go bezerk.
I always thought the backtesting schould be functionality wise the same as on Life so please fix ASAP.
