Suggestion: Allow a Fixed Start Date for charts and strategies

[jackyd]

In case this is not already on your list, would you please consider adding another option to the Dataseries parameters for a Fixed start date when building a chart or running a strategy.

I find the rolling start date a real hassle when you want to work with a specific timeframe over a several day period. For example, if I build a chart starting on Jan 1st, 2010 - I would like it to stay on Jan 1st until I change it, while the end date continues to roll forward in realtime. It would be nice to have this apply to strategies as well.

This seems to work well in NT6.5 for strategies only. When you start a strategy that runs over several days, the start date stays the same.

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion...So basically, the start day is fixed, the end date rolls forward. Will add to our list for future consideration.
