I have two questions.

1) I have set the Date Range in Strategy Settings to 9/21/2016 - 9/21/2022, but the backtest results only start from October 2018. Why is this?

(2) I would like to extract and backtest only stocks in a specific sector (e.g. energy sector), but please tell me how to do so.

We have no idea about your strategy to answer your question. But if it's based on indicators (including fundamental) with a long seed period (the time it takes to build an indicator e.g. 200 days for a 200-day SMA), then this would explain it.

It looks to me like the Historical Provider you're using doesn't serve more than 5 years of data.

Data Manager > Historical Providers
Put Wealth-Data and Q-Data at the top and check them. They will have more data.

Cone's idea looks quite likely so I thought it may also apply to the fundamental data (you've been using it according to your previous posts).

Show us the complete chart, with status bar. It will let us all know which data provider gave you the data.
