Strategy Analyzer Chart Displays Too Much When Time Frame is Changed

[KBJ]

When I'm done running the Strategy Analyzer, and click on "Chart" to see what's happened, it initially displays in an uninteresting time frame. This is expected since I select 1-tick for the Backtest "Data Series".

However, since I don't want to look at a chart in a 1-tick time frame, I select 1-minute so I can see what has happened during the test.

After the 1-minute chart is displayed, I notice that the data displayed includes data for times before the "From" value in the "Time Frame" parameters, which I have set to 08:00 20-April-2007. Curiously the chart doesn't go all the way back to the beginning of the 15 weeks of tick data I have recorded, but only back to April 5th.

None of this earlier data on the chart has any of the DrawText, etc. objects displayed on it and is just a distraction to look at.

Is there any way to make the Charting for the Strategy Analyzer display only the portion of the data that I've selected under "Time Frame"?

- the chart on the strategy analyzer displays the time frame wher you tested your strategy on: if you tested 1 tick, then a 1 tick series will be displayed in the chart
- we you then toggle e.g. to a 1 minute series the session begin/end will be maintained (I just tested)
- we will add the issue where the lookback period should be maintained to our list of future enhancement
