Look Back Period

[delta20]

How does look back period work in the wizard I couldn't find any info in help.

Lets say I have a moving average cross and a DMI cross I want to happen at the same time (period)

If I put a look back value of 3.

Is that going to check if this happened exactly 3 days ago?

If the conditions happened within 3 days of each other?

If the condition happened on the same day within the last 3 days?

Thanks in advance

Hello Stefan,

When you apply an automated strategy, it will be loaded as per the amount of historical data you specify. You use the 'Days to load' setting to determine how much historical data will be loaded.

It will check if the cross occurred during the last 3 days.
