SMA Values not loading in BACKTESTING
SMA Values not loading in BACKTESTING
29 Apr 2016, 13:28
Hi Spotware,
in the backtesting the cBOT is unable to load the SMA values. Although it does load these values on live account.
It is very annoying that after so many years, we still have to see these kind of basic issues.

Works fine on my end. Try lower periods, chart might not have enough data for calculation.

RE:
yes, the SMA worked. Thank you. But it is really lousy on the part of cTRADER that one indicator is able to fetch the value, while "SMA", which is the most widely used is not able to fetch the vale in backtesting. It works ok in LIVE account.
Thanks and for me; day by day it is clear that MT4 has no real threat.

Even if you change the period to 10, lets say?
