why the start() function always triggered at the lastest minute of every 15min period(as 14,29,44,59),i think the start() function must be triggered at least twice if the open<>close, am i right ?

we've updated article "Strategy Tester: Modes of Modeling during Testing"
see "Using the Range of Dates When Modeling." section

open offline generated file, increase scale, select "candlesticks" mode and see bars evolution.
there may be also if suspected bars have volume 1. check it please.
