When I look at the results of my model, built as the custom study, the message log only goes back 90 days or so to show trading results. Some symbols show a longer back period, like CL, and others very short like ES. I would like to back-test the results of my models over a longer period, say 1-2 years, to verify that my models perform well in different market environments. With Future contracts rolling over every 90 days this seems difficult.

Is there a way to backtest my models using Sierra Charts over a long-term time horizon?
