Hi Tomasz , you are right , I meant backfill. Can the backfill all rt symbols in some other way than from the plugin status? The reason why I ask it is because I am experimenting to trade from backtesting mode, doing some simple custimization, but before trading, especially if I am not present, I want to make sure I am using updated data ( some time connection can die for few minutes for example).
In this way I cut the time between system testing and RT trading, by periodically triggering some backtests from AFL ( since I think the AA option run every .. is only for scan mode, but not backtests, and in my case I reject most of raw signals). If it could be extended to backtest would be great!
