Post From: Why does Sierra Chart always start backtests too early?

I'm not sure you've understood me, or I'm not understanding you.

My system already has logic which tests for things like price above or below a certain moving average. But trades are firing on a backtest, before the moving average is even plotted on the chart, so what value is the system using to determine that it should have signaled a trade? My expectation would be that no trade would be possible, if data that is required for the signal to fire, is not available yet.
