Hi Tomasz,
Thanks for the clarifications. This may be a support question, and if
so, I'll redirect. But there seems to be some interest in this
overall right now in the forum.
I just connected AB RT to eSignal (1-min. base interval, 3,000 bars
loaded at a time, mixed Intra/EOD). I'm only tracking a few symbols.
I wanted to backfill as much as I could in order to do some
backtesting. I had thought as you mention that the data is backfilled
by virute of connecting. I also used the exploration you have in the
KB, and added a setbarsrequired() call to as many bars as I believe
120 days worth of 1-min data would require and checked the wait for
backfill checkbox. However, even after I bumped up the load number
another 1,000 to 4,000 and ran the exploration to see what would
happen, I'm only getting a few bars worth back.
I'm also experiencing some issues backtesting in RT, I'm sure those
are support questions, and I'll send them separately. Thanks!
Regards,
Gordon
