Please, Please  add this option.   We can then use padding to keep our
system timers correct, and correctly screen our stocks for liquidity.  This
type of padding (Vol = 0) is perhaps more typical of what data providers
supply.

My own backtests (using AB Padding), have caused some unusual results eg. A
small mining stock that suspended trading for 6 mths.  Last trading day had
a >25 % runup in price.  One of my backtests had daily Buy then profit stop
Sell for 6 mths.  Fantastic returns but totally misleading  (and yes easy to
spot and prevent, but that is not the point ).  With Vol = 0 padding, this
stock would not have made it through my liquidity filters.

Please add this option,  It will be greatly appreciated
