1. run a bar back test on 5 minute INTC
2. set date filter to include last 30 days and apply...
3. note the results
4. wait about 15-30 seconds then the results change significantly.

The number of trades decrease (and the stats change accordingly) BUT all trades are still in the filtered date range, just fewer trades.
This has happened on various symbols SOMETIMES !
>> I hate the word "sometimes"...

Is this because the query has not completed? If so, that explains it; If not...

Most likely this is explained here:

Trade Activity Log: Trade Activity Not Displaying or Clearing (Improving Trade Activity Query Performance)

You are going to see the previous data until the query is completed.
