Custom Start Date for First Loaded Candle
I would like to request an option that allows users to choose a specific start date (very first candle not the project start date ) for loading historical data in Forex Tester. At the moment, the software loads the entire available history, which significantly slows down the backtesting process—especially when working with large datasets.
Allowing us to set a custom start candle date would improve performance while still keeping the historical range flexible. The feature should also allow users to adjust or move the start date at any time, including the ability to load data all the way back to the earliest available records when needed.
This addition would streamline the workflow and make backtesting more efficient for users who do not always need the full historical dataset.
Thank you for considering this improvement.

That's a really interesting idea for making backtesting more efficient, especially with large datasets. I've added your request to our backlog for the team to review.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us.
