Backtesting - Not open positions
01 Oct 2014, 11:43

Until now I used the version cAlgo my broker without problems. 
Now I installed version SpotWare wanting to try the function Optimization. 

But I have the following problem, the results of the backtest are always "0" and 
No position is opened. 

Why?

We can recommend you to try other data modes:

  • m1 bars (open prices)

Please look at Balance Chart in backtesting screenshot. You can see that your cBot opened 1 position and didn't close it.

Without changing anything in the code of the CBOT, from tuesday "Optimization" works.
It would seem without any problems.
