Does anyone know how the data load in system tester?
Such as testing Moving Average Crossover with loading 500 periods of
data

BUY
Cross(C,Mov(C,100,S));
BUY EXIT
Cross(Mov(C,100,S),C);

Will the signal be only triggered after the 100 days within the
loaded period? because signal needs at least 100 days to calculate
the moving average, so there shall be no signal during the first 100
days.

[the first day of the loaded period]
0 ...
[Signal shall not be triggered, because there is not enough data to
calculate Mov(C,100,S)]

100 ...
[After 100 days, signal shall be triggered if condition meet, because
there is enough data to calculate Mov(C,100,S)]

500 [today]

Or

Will the signal be triggered anytime within the loaded period?
because the result of the moving average shall be calculated within
the loaded period, so if buy signal occurs in the first day of loaded
period, signal shall be triggered.

0 ...
[Signal shall be triggered if condition meet, because the result of
Mov(C,100,S) shall be calculated within the loaded period]

500 [today]

Does anyone know how the system tester behaviors on loaded data?
Thank you in advance
