SMA lookback further?

[dirygoatee]

When trying to use strategies that use long dated SMA ie. 100 days, it is not calculating the correct value?

I am trying to backtest from 1/1/2011 - present and its not looking back 100 days from Jan 1/1 to calculate the correct the SMA? When I try to chart it, it simply starts the 100 day SMA in Feb?

thanks

Dirygoatee,

Please ensure that you are using something along the lines of

SMA(period)[lookback], so SMA(100)[0] would suffice.

Please let me know if I may assist further.
