state.interface.history not returning history with correct time intervals #251

Description

Description

Example:

The backtest goes from 2020-01-01 to 2020-12-31. When retrieving 4 days of history using the to parameter of state.interface.history I'd expect it to get 2019-12-28 to 2019-12-31.

Instead it gets 3 days of history skipping the previous day, e.g., 2021-10-28 - 2021-10-30.

This workaround produces what I expect:

state.variables.history = state.interface.history(
    symbol,
    4,
    end_date=datetime.utcfromtimestamp(state.time) + timedelta(days=2),
    return_as='deque',
    resolution=state.resolution,
)
