Backtesting indicators can't access backtesting positions
15 Mar 2020, 17:07

Hi all,

When backtesting a cbot in visual mode, if I add an indicator to the chart, and I debug that indicator I cannot access any of the Positions open or closed during the backtest. I only seem to get the "live" Positions.

the cbot itself does not call the indicator... I am of course able to backtest the indicator for it's values, outputs etc... I do not have this problem with the bot.

Thanks in advance!

Hi calgodemo,

I checked this with the product team and this is a known issue. It will be fixed in a later version.

I run into the same exact problem yesterday on version 3.8 half a year later...
