Hi is v4.0 and brokerage=ICMarkets

I am also getting weird data, eg, I ran VBT from 1/1/2012 to 31/12/2020, start time 0101 to 2359 (bot trading times) i cant get any 2019 or 2020 trades at all. It might be the bot settings, but when i tried with same date ranges, same other settings and time 0101 to 0459, i got some 2020 trades. It might be some bugs with the bot, but would like to know whether there might be the issue and not with ctrader VBT

I test but I couldn't replicate the issue, can you record a short video?

Hi I could do a vbt and record it, but results is only after testing is done, so i am not really sure, how video can proof the summary function may have bugs?

Hi,

We just want to be sure that there is such an issue, and if possible can you post a sample cBot code that can replicate this issue.

cant post sample code as i dont own the bot. For summary reporting, sometimes its correct. I will continue monitor and check again. I am aware that summary wont report till test is completed. If test was incomplete likely no summary so is not a case whereby test was ongoing. I am checking to make sure that backtest has ended n the end period that i selected has ended (the "needle" or progress bar with date shown is my end date) to ensure completeness as well
