'Reset' may become my most used key....... based on the number of mistakes I make per minute......lol

What I am attempting to do is top move through my data, 50,000 bars at a time to get an idea as to what sort of results my strategy will produce....

I would like to go back about three years to ensure that I have exposed the strategy to several types of markets and then examine for continuity in results.

I have attempted to use the reset and restarted the program, I am still unable to access data as far back as January 2009 or prior by using Data Horizon

Is there another method to set a 'start date' so that I can work my way through the data.....

I must be doing something wrong as I am sure that in the creation of the program, people were backtesting thoroughly.

Thanks

If you cannot figure out what setting limits the data bars, you can always use the "Reset". It's located under the "Tools" menu.

Important: The reset doesn't change the instrument settings. That means that the spread, swaps, or symbols will be unchanged.

Somehow I have made the maximum bars to be 300, and athough I have a lot of data and have set the maximum to 50,000 in the Data Horizon..... I still get only 300 bars..

Can someone tell me what I have done wrong...?

Thanks so much
