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.

• 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.
