Same for me... the error message is this:

But restart dosn't solve the problem. Please investigate it.

Thanks

Hello,

We will investigate but we need some information like what is the symbol you are testing, and which currency your account is in. The more information you can provide about the scenario by which you are receiving this will help.

Regards

In the meantime please remove and re-add the instance of the robot and let us know if it solves the issue.

I think it only affects Robots working with Pending Orders.

It doesn't only affect robots using Pending Orders...


I've been runnig my robot on the live account for the past several weeks. I ran a backtest today (having reset the EURUSD and USDCHF instances) using the same parameters over the same period and the results are nowhere near the ones on the account statement. I did a big test two weeks ago and there weren't any issues back then...


Can you confirm that this bug only affects the backtesting functionality and not the live environment?

Yes, the only problem is in the backtesting and it only affects code with referenced indicators.

I am using API indicators,why does it affect my Robots? Also, I noticed that reference Robots like the RSI and Martingale are not affected.

You will faced with this problem, if you use "Indicators.Getindicator<>();" This means reference inicator. And this issue effects only backtesting function, not Robots.

I meant while backtesting.I dont use Indicators.Getindicator<>().

The backtesting will be fixed this week. Unfortunately it is not possible to get a previous version.
