Historic data issue
28 Jun 2018, 23:01
Good Evening,
I'm trying to backtest a simple Bot with 1 min TimeFrame.
I choose 01.04.2011 until today... starting the test, it will be interrupted after few days e.g. 05.04.2011... what's going on? The app has loaded all the bars obviously....
Trying some other timeframe shows the same effect, only that the tested period extends some days more, but far away from the selected enddate.
any ideas?
thx
Markus

it has loaded about 2600 days of 1 Minute bars, but in the roaming cache folder the file size is only 126kb of data, a bit less I guess.
In the log tab I do not find any error or crash info, only the information about the start and end time and the trading events .
By the way I do the same test with NinjaTrader and it works fine... and I get many thousands of trades. Maybe this could be the reason.
What do you mean "It blew the account?" How could this be? Any synthetical account for backtesting?
mmmhhhh
What else I should show you on information?

Sorry for that :-(

Maybe it crashed? What does it say in the Log tab?
Or it blew the account? You'll need to provide a bit more information I think.
