      Every time I try to backtest with anything under 1D candles, it cuts out the middle (most of the backtest). It just skips over it. How can I run it over several months? The data seems to be there because it does the start of it, then the end. Is there a setting or something to see the whole backtest?

          Does it not do it for you? I just assumed it does it for everyone. Seems like it's built for 1D candles and intraday seems really flawed.

            @run-out Big cut off line in the chart where it skips a bunch of time. Idk if this is just the output...like maybe it's doing trades in that time period and just not showing the information?

                you add initial data and then resample it. Two data feeds is a reason for two charts.
