both (cli) and u (ui) need to warm up time to trade (ui) after running the gekko imported candles to wait for the warm-up period to expire (cli) you can import the required candles for the warm-up period immediately
Thank you for the reply @ankasem! 
Sorry to bother you once again. I know the download from CLI is immediate, but "does the CLI automatically download the warmup period?"
Example: I want to perform a backtest using CLI only on August, with 1Day candles (hence I have 31 candles available). Suppose I've already downloaded August data (from UI or CLI, it doesn't matter...). Since my strategy foresees the use of a SMA 40 i need 9 candles more, therefore I need to download data from the 23rd to the 31st of July.
The downloading of this missing time window is performed automatically by the CLI or do I have to download it on my own (through UI or CLI) before performing the backtest?
Cheeeers!
