I suggested this about 3 years ago in general email to support. I am placing here in hopes others will request as well.
When adding a Strategy to the Control Center in the Time Frame area you Choice "Days to Load"
My request is Option to Choice Bars to Load
Reason for the need for Bars to Load is that for Traders using Off Standard Candlesticks ie Range, Renko, and others when the Days are Loaded vs a Chart of Off Standard Bars the ticks, Bricks, Range etc creates bars that do NOT match when might be loaded using Days to Load in Control Center
What happens is a Strategy using for example a Brick type bar on the Chart may be 15 Red Bars in a Row, but the Control Center with the days loaded my actually be creating a virtual chart with a Green bar in the long series of Red bars. If the Strategy for example is Trading Short and is Exiting based on the first Green Bar the strategy will exit the trade when viewing an actual Chart would not have made the same exit.
Thanks
