Live Trading & Forward Testing

Live trading, forward testing and backtesting are one and same event, and chart.
The back-test will continue running, testing new live bars one by one, a live forward test. The vertical blue line marks the end of the backtest and the start of the live forward test.
The two results can thereby be compared, and should be the same except for slippage.
Indicators will always be valid when an ATS is set to live trading (if backfill of the charts was done).
Technical indicators from the virtual strategy will be "running" and the trading will be valid from the first live bar.
Without this feature, one would have to wait till the technical indicators become valid.
