When processing the last candle, this can lead to a situation where it may not be desirable to use the buy signal on that candle.

When processing the last candle, this can lead to a situation where it may not be desirable to use the buy signal on that candle. For example, when using a condition in your strategy where you use a cross-over, that point may have passed too long ago for you to start a trade on it. In these situations, you can enable the functionality to ignore candles that are beyond a specified period by setting `ignore_buying_expired_candle` to `True`. After this, you can set `ignore_buying_expired_candle_after` to the number of seconds after which the candle becomes expired.
