Dear Stephane,

What you say is true ONLY IF you are using "Partial loading feature"
(see Preferences->Settings) because only then not all quotes are
loaded during backtesting.

But if you load all quotes - it really does not matter how many data
you add at the end because cum(1) starts counting from the same
historical bar (the very first available) regardless of actual date range
set in Analysis window. The date range is used for filtering output signals only.

And as for weekly frames - you should use the formula I posted in previous e-mail.

Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
