Attention!

If I run a strategy in real-time, the start date for data loaded into the strategy appears to be essentially random, or at least figured out by NT according to some algorithm. I run NT on 2 machines. This morning, regardless of the start date I enter, the data is loaded from 10/23 on one machine and 11/23 on the other machine. This can be seen by simply printing the value of Time[0] in OnBarUpdate. (I have bars required set to zero on both.) Is there some setting here I am missing?

Historical data for realtime strategies is loaded based on settings in Tools->Options->Data->Chart default lookback period days

Wow, thank you, that had been a mystery to me for quite a while, and it makes sense since I do have it set differently on the 2 machines.

Does the From date actually do anything then?

No, we will remove with next NT6.5 update.
