Extended histories

Some ETFs are young. Where the lab has declared a backfill (an older mutual fund or futures contract with the same exposure) or a validated synthetic, the Backtest tool can extend a ticker's history when you ask it to. Every extension is gated: monthly correlation of at least 0.90 with the real series over their overlap and an annualised return gap of at most one point. An extension that stops tracking is refused.

Extended history is off by default in every tool. Results that use it say so and mark the junction dates.
