====== Out of Sample ======

Out of Sample settings select a percentage range from the loaded dataset.

<code ini>
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;; Out of sample            ;;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

; Use these parameters to set the data range.
; The program cuts data after applying Data Horizon.

data_start_percent = 0
data_end_percent   = 100
</code>

===== Notes =====

  * Percent values are numeric.
  * This range is applied after Data Horizon settings.
  * ''0'' to ''100'' uses the whole post-horizon range.
  * ''data_start_percent'' moves the start of the usable range forward.
  * ''data_end_percent'' moves the end of the usable range backward.

The percentages are calculated over the Data Horizon output window.
Example: if Data Horizon leaves 10,000 bars, then ''70'' to ''100'' keeps the last ~30% (about 3,000 bars).

Use this section when you want a single-run percentage split.
For a two-run workflow (cap history first, then recalculate on full data), see [[data-horizon|Data Horizon]].


===== Example profiles =====

Use only the last 30% of data:

<code ini>
data_start_percent = 70
data_end_percent   = 100
</code>

Use middle segment:

<code ini>
data_start_percent = 20
data_end_percent   = 80
</code>
