Post From: Skip/Cancel Downloading Data During Backtests

Is there a way through the Sierra Chart API to skip or cancel downloading historical or new data during backtests?

When you start a backtest and Sierra "downloads" data, it is reading it from your hard drive, as you have already downloaded it from the feed. To reduce the time it takes to begin the backtest, limit the number of days loaded in the chart settings to a date before your backtest start date-time.
