I am having an issue where I hit the 4,000 data point limit quickly. Is there a way to reduce the data points in my codebase so I can do longer back tests? I can only get 3 days of orders in with my backtests currently.
The other thing I am having issues with is consolidating the data I would like to try running the code using 15 minutes 30 minute and 45 minute candles. Any help with the consolidation function would be fantastic. I've tried using it a few times and am not fully understanding how to implement it

back test doesn't seem to have gotten added.

Did you have a chance to try what I recommended.
There is a limit on maximum data points per chart – 4000.
You can plot less frequently by increasing the size of the resampled bar.
“N minutes bar consolidator” can help in this.

Is the 4000-data-point limit a hard one? Any chance to increase it to a larger cap by say, upgrading to a paid account? 4000 is enough for hourly and daily resolution but these two don't mimic Stoploss and TakeProfit well due to lags of data. If minute is used, 4000 can only account for data less than 4 days which is not sufficient for backtests.
