You can load up to 100 000 bars in Forex Strategy Builder.
[Edit] Sory, Up to 50 000.
ok ,seems that all bars loaded
but why the Number of bars and Maximum data bars is 20000 in the market statistics
Ops, the maximum allowed number of data bars is 50000.
Go to the "Market" menu and open the "Data Horizon" dialog box. You can adjust the maximum data bars there.
The historical forex rates we provide are limited to 20000 bars but you can use your own data. Put your data files set somewhere and point Forex Strategy Builder to them by the Market ->Data Directory dialog.
thanks for the reply i got it.
Great soft!
Hope more bars script engine supported in the future.

Hello Popov,
Let's say, I want to test a strategy on 1H timeframe. I have a data for all timeframes [5 Min - 1 H] since 1999.
We need to have the same starting date for all timeframes (we have much more bars on 5 Min than on 1 H), so the results will be completely unreliable at the beginning (because of 50 000 bars limitation).
Did I understand it right? What would you suggest to do?
Thank you!
Hello chief2000,
The max bars limits are in the config file: Forex Strategy Builder/System/Config.xml
The options are:
<MAX_BARS>50000</MAX_BARS>
<MAX_INTRA_BARS>50000</MAX_INTRA_BARS>
MAX_BARS sets the maximum allowed bars in the main time period.
MAX_INTRA_BARS sets the max bars number of the intermediate time periods.
You can change these numbers in the config file. MAX_BARS is the upper limit in the "Data Horizon" window.
Hi Popov,
Can we use more than 50 000 Bars in the config file?
If I will define 200 000 Bars - will all 200 000 bars be used in the tests?
If not, can we somehow increase the hardlimit of 50 000? (at least 2-3 years of history for 5 min Timeframe)
Thank you!
