backtesting data issues

Hello support?

I'm using tick data to backtest EURUSD

it seems there is a delay in the data available....

I have two issues...

1. today is 7/28/15 but it only allows me to select as far forward as 7/26/15 as an end date for a backtest

2. If i do run a test from 1/1/15 - 7/26/15 as allowed, I only get data results through 7/24/15 (it only gave data through 7/16/15 as of two days ago)

something is not right it seems with the tick data

Dear Trader,

For technical reasons and to guarantee the integrity of the tick data in backtesting you cannot backtest using tickdata of the present day and of the day before. You run backtesting up to the 26/07/15 which was a Sunday and the market is closed during the Weekend.

The screenshots you send and the conversation that we had through the emails indicate that your robot runs out of money.

RE:

 

the robot that runs out of money was a blank robot as you requested to test the bars shown...

RE:

 

I don't understand the point you are trying to make... 

There is an issue with the tick data...

I sent you two screen shots, one with a robot executing trades and one with a robot (empty) that only has logic to print prices to the log...

The first that executes did not run out of money, the second can't because it doesn't execute any trades...

so either you didnt understand what I sent over, or you didnt pay very close attention...

based on your approach to answer my concerns and address the tick data issue by trying to make me look like I dont know what I'm talking about.. I assume it could be both

Dear Trader,

Through the screenshots you send and the conversation that you had with troubleshooting we cannot see any problem. Could you please send to troubleshooting@spotware.com a more detailed explanation with screenshots or even your cBot?

We will try to reproduce your issue to determine if there are any problems.

Your cBot will be used only for this testing purpose.

yes thank you
I did this, but unfortunately I did not get any results
I must emphasize that this problem does not exist in other time frames and only in Renko
I remind you again that I have been working for maybe a year and I did not have this problem

Hi there,

This is an eight years old thread. Maybe creating a new one and providing some more information on how can somebody reproduce your problem?
