New here: Why do gekkos with sufficient data have a countdown that keeps going UP? - ikarian - 06-03-2019
Hello-
I'm trying to learn the platform, specifically trading/testing using real-time(ish) data. If I create a watcher that goes back far enough, then I create a paper trader that runs using that data, shouldn't it be ready to trade immediately? It seems like it starts warming up, but instead of having a countdown like if I didn't have a watcher attached that went back far enough, it looks like it's warming up until it hits the historySize regardless, with a warmup message that keeps going UP every time it refreshes. Am I doing something wrong, or am I just misunderstanding its capabilities?
