Hello,
When I start a Backtest and I have conditions on a moving average, the firts results are not accurate.
Let's say I have moving average of 10 MA, I need 10 candles before my Condition become effective.
So I would like to jump the Simulation (Replay Accurate System Back Test Mode) at the 10th candle.
Is it possible to skip the first candles, so it does not affect my P/L$ ?

Regards

Yes there should be a way to do this.

Is this a spreadsheet automated trading system or one that uses ACSIL?

In the next release coming out in one or two more days there will be in I77 the following new field: Number of Bars

You can then use this in a check in the Buy and Sell formulas to prevent a signal until there is a sufficient number of bars.
