For all trendline types except moving average, sets or returns the number of periods the regression should extrapolate backward.

<table class="wysiwyg-macro" data-macro-name="unmigrated-wiki-markup" style="background-image: url(/plugins/servlet/confluence/placeholder/macro-heading?definition=e3VubWlncmF0ZWQtd2lraS1tYXJrdXB9&amp;locale=en_GB&amp;version=2); background-repeat: no-repeat;" data-macro-body-type="PLAIN_TEXT"><tr><td class="wysiwyg-macro-body"><pre>
 public double BackcastPeriods{ get; set; }
</pre></td></tr></table>

<p>Public Property BackcastPeriods() As Double</p>

Setting this value will cause the trendline to start before the beginning of the data.
