And Another important thing!,
After some research and testing that i made concerning this issue,
i came to a conclusion,
if i want to build strategies on my whole data that i got for @MES for example: 1997.09.11 ~ 2020.01.01,
And the "Reserved Bars (At Trading Options Tab)" is set to "410",
And the "Max Global Indicators Period" set to "400" & "Global Lookback Period (Shift)" set to "10"
Hence i need 410 reserved bars AT-LEAST in order to calculate the indicator/s for the backtest/retest etc..,
When i build/retest etc my strategies i do not get the same results, I get different results in terms of the equity curve etc..*,
Because i do not have those 410 reserved bars from before the date: 1997.09.11,
which means that i need to reserve those 410 bars manually ahead of time...,
because SQX wont do that by itself....
BUT
When i do this thing instead....:
EXAMPLE:
My whole data is from 1997.09.11 ~ 2020.01.01,
But i will reserve at-least 410 bars now ahead of time,
i dont know what exact date should i begin with but for this example i will use those dates for my building: 2000.01.01 ~ 2020.01.01,
Now i know i got at least 410 bars (Daily Bars) to get accurate results when building/retesting etc..

The solution must be as follows:
If the user sets:
"Max Global Indicators Period" to "400" & "Global Lookback Period (Shift)" to "10",
SQX should automatically reserve at-least 410 bars of that same TimeFrame the user is about to build/retest/etc on *(i would say 411 bars in reserve is even better, just in case.),
The "Reserved Bars (At Trading Options Tab)" wont longer be needed from this point on-wards.. because SQX will do everything automatically.
Status changed from New to Refused
Moreover, you can want to set reserved bars much bigger than max indicators period
