Start date in New strategy screen has disappeared in NT 6.5.1000.5

[oclop]

Hello,

I am interested in running strategies from the strategies tab in the control box. But to do that I need to specify a start date for the strategy to be sure that there are enough bars.

I am running NT 6.5.1000.5 and I cannot find the from date as an input parameter in the time frame section of the 'New strategy' window that I open from the 'control centre'.

I checked the NT documentation online and the screen snapshot in the 'Running NT script from strategies tab' section contains the from date in the time frame section.

has there been a change in NT since the documentation was produced? If not how can I define a start date for the strategy? What is the default period that NT assumes if no start date is defined?

Thanks for your help. regards,

The default days back is based on the settings under Tools > Options > Data, check the "Chart default look back period (days)" section.
