Can I preload a certain number of bars to ensure custom indicators used in the strategy are already up and running correctly when the strategy is activated?
I'm not referring to "BarsRequiredToTrade".
To my understanding, BarsRequiredToTrade start to count as of strategy activation only. I want to start trading as of strategy activation with custom indicators calculated based on data PRIOR to strategy activation.
Example:
I want to correctly determine the number of the trading day of the month immediately after strategy (re-)activation, not only after the first month break (which is easy).
There must be a way to do this. Other pieces of software offer this under the term "preload bars" and I consider this a very valuable feature.
Thanks for letting me know.
