Daily bars plot breaks, but 1 min is ok? - 04/10/19 20:35

Simplest code to plot the candlesticks
function run()

Code:

{	
	set(PLOTNOW);
	StartDate = 20190101;
	MaxBars = 10;
}

I'm using the M1 prices downloaded from this web. I can see alright 1 min, 5min, 60 min and up to 240 min (even though always different number of bars)
but it breaks when I want to see a daily(1440) bars plot. What gives!? See attached screenshots

That plot looks ok to me. Ok in the sense of garbage in => garbage out.

How about a constructive response, why I don't see a proper daily bars being plotted, but I do see proper 1 through 60 min charts?

Don't you see the error messages? Most of your price history is missing. Fix it, or use no lookback period.

Zorro uses Lookback=80 by default, there are just no 80 days from 20190101.

Thank you, I got it now.
I also see that for crypto I need to use

Code:

Weekend = 0

and that

Code:

LOOKBACK =! LookBack

Took me 30 min to figure out what was the issue.

That second line is wrong. Set Lookback = 0 when you use no lookback period.

I tried to be a smartass here

I know I need the Lookback = 0. What I was trying to say is that I found a keyword LOOKBACK which popped up through the autocomplete in the IDE, and it took me 30 min to realize that the correct keyword is actually LookBack
