Backtest & CandleSize:WarmupPeriod format - Ytigiev - 09-20-2018

Hello, 

I have a few questions regarding parameters CandleSize and warmup 

1)  Is it CandleSize defined in minutes?
2) How to calculate WarmupPeriod?   WarmupPeriod = CandleSize*NumbersOfCandels was using for calculating each of iteration? Measurement is minutes? 

Code:
# BUG - USE ONE CANDLE VALUE TEMPORARY! Put your candle values between brackets in line below. Use CandleSize:WarmupPeriod format. Seperate pair using space or newline.
@warmup = qw(
10:73
);

We should draw attention to your question. This is critical for backtest results, yet the unit of the candle size is not defined anywhere.
