Wrong time frame in backtest

[bitbot]

Hello. I'm a new gekko user. I've performed a couple of backtests but something is wrong with the results' time frame. My database range is 3 months, but somehow the results I get on the graph are always depicted as only 1 day long. I have tried different pairs (all from Poloniex) with different strategies, but all gave me the same error. The attached screenshot illustrates the results. Please note the low volume of trades (37) in the supposedly 3 month period. Any help is deeply appreciated.

Not sure if I understand the problem you are having correct but it looks like each entry/close timeframe is varying and not always 1 day long. For example the buy/close just left of the middle of your screenshot. It seems like your strategy is working as intended and only buys or sells when the strategy says to. A strategy won't be bought into the market for the whole duration of the 3 months or it would just be a simple buy. Hopefully I understood correctly and this helps.

Thank you, Faldor. I think I did not make myself completely clear in the original post. Indeed, the start and end times are correctly shown in the table, but I was actually referring to the graph. If you look at the X axis, you can note that the unities are in hours, intead of months. In fact, the graph shows a 3-hour time frame, instead of a 3-month one. So, it's even less than a day! I've seen some results from other users and their graphs are really different than mine in respect to the X axis. Hope I expalained the problem properly this time!

@ankasem looks you compiled it great, if you run `node gekko --ui` after that you should have the fix included
