Live trading, forward testing and back-testing is 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 back-test and the start of the forward test - and live trading is enabled.
The two results can thereby be compared, 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 also 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.
