What's Missing or Wrong?
Add “Warmup Window” column to overview page
Description:
For many technical indicators, a warmup period is required before the indicator produces valid signals. This is distinct from the lag/lookback of the signal itself: the warmup window defines how many initial data points must be accumulated before the indicator can start outputting meaningful values.
Currently, the overview page does not display this information, which makes it difficult for strategy developers to plan backtests and understand when an indicator becomes usable.
Proposed improvement:
Add a new column on the overview page called “Warmup Window”.
For indicators where this applies, display the number of data points needed before the indicator outputs valid results.
If the warmup period is not applicable, leave the column empty or mark as N/A.
Benefit:
Showing the warmup window directly in the overview provides clarity for developers when building strategies or backtesting, ensuring indicators are used correctly from the first data point.
