Backtest doesn't fail when equity is negative
04 Jan 2020, 02:47

It recently came to my attention that backtesting wouldn't wouldnt stop the robot when it goes into the negative thousands or millions of $, and would show the max equity drawdown as under 1%.

Didn't notice this until i saw it in visual backtest.

Version 3.5

Anyone else?

Hi Kenny,

Can you provide us with a cBot and steps to reproduce such a behavior?
