Hi Tomasz ,

you are right , I meant backfill.
Can the backfill all rt symbols in some other way than from the 
plugin status?
The reason why I ask it is because I am experimenting to trade from 
backtesting mode, doing some simple custimization, but before 
trading, especially if I am not present, I want to make sure I am 
using updated data ( some time connection can die for few minutes for 
example).

In this way I cut the time between system testing and RT trading, by 
periodically triggering some backtests from AFL ( since I think the 
AA option run every .. is only for scan mode, but not backtests, and 
in my case I reject most of raw signals).
If it could be extended to backtest would be great!

Thanks
Ly
