Z8: 252 Daily Bars = 73 weeks? - 11/11/21 18:27

I ran a Test of Z8, and the Performance Report shows

Code
Lookback period     252 bars (73 weeks)


252 daily bars used to be 1 year - 52 weeks.

What changed? Are other things in the Performance Report affected?

Thanks.

The lookback period is probably indeed 1 year but the displayed time periods are not accurate, they are just number of bars multiplied with average bar duration.

Thanks @Petra. I don't yet understand... From 2 perspectives:

1) Prior Zorro versions showed 52 weeks. When/how/why did this change?

2) The PR lists Bar period 24 hours (avg 2088 minutes). (((252 bars * 2088 minutes) / 60 minutes/hour) / 24 hours/day) / 7 days/week = 52.2 weeks.
