GetSymbol is temporarily not supported in backtesting ????
14 Sep 2015, 23:08


Error log:
Crashed in OnStart with NotSupportedException: GetSymbol is temporarily not supported in backtesting

I tried to get data from other Symbol:

 ms = MarketData.GetSeries("EURUSD", MarketSeries.TimeFrame);

Temporarily not supported for backtesting?

It sounds very bad...

A bit more to clarify:
 

        private Symbol symbase;
        private MarketSeries ms;

        symbase = MarketData.GetSymbol("EURUSD");
        ms = MarketData.GetSeries("EURUSD", MarketSeries.TimeFrame);

And the error pops up as stated in previous message.

Dear Trader,

Currently multi-symbol backtesting is not supported. That’s why you get an exception when you try to use these methods. It is in our plans to support multi-symbol backtesting in the future. Additionally you can vote for it in: http://vote.spotware.com/forums/229166-ideas-and-suggestions-for-ctrader-and-calgo/suggestions/5435043-multi-currency-backtesting

Hi,

I found that in 2016 multi-symbol backtesting isn't supported. What "future" means for you? 10 year?
