This is if historical 'ticks' are granular enough and exist with timestamps at BarOffset.

But M15 bars loaded from brokers are for regular periods (xx:00-xx:15, etc).

If 1/2 of the long Lookback period exists in a historical file and is PRELOADed, and 1/2 has to be completed from a broker - how will Zorro create (BarPeriod=60; BarOffset=6) candles for the Lookback ?
