====== Data Horizon ======

===== Introduction =====

**Data Horizon** provides settings for limiting the range of the data for backtesting. The actual data files are not cut or changed.

You can use **Data Horizon** to test the strategy performance on a different section of the data.

A common use is for simulating **Out of Sample** testing. 

===== Parameters =====

  * **Maximum data bars** - sets the maximal length of the data series. The app temporary removes excessive bars from the end of the data series. 
  * **Minimum data bars** - this number is preset to 300 and can not be changed. Your imported files must contain at least 300 bars.
  * **Use start date limit** - when the option is enabled, EA Studio removes the data before the specified date.
  * **Use end date limit** - when the option is enabled, EA Studio removes the data after the specified date.
