Walk Forward is not working

[Baruch]

Hi,
I run the WF on "SampleMACrossOver" on ES. Not that it matters.
WF has folowing bugs:
1. Minimum for "Keep best # results" is 2. Why?
2. I declared From: 8/12/08 To: 1/11/09 with "Optimize Period":28 and "Test Period":7. It had no results (didn't load the data for several moths). I have this data.
3. I declared From: 25/5/05 To: 1/11/09. Now the Optimizer tab had results from the begining, but the Walk forward tab instead of starting from 22/6/09 (after the first period of optimization) it starts from 25/5/09!
4. The Walk Forward tab makes its own periods. Instead of having periods of 7 days it has periods of 28+7=35 days!
5. It show the wrong currency. Someone told you that already.

Thats all for now. I can't continue to check forward.

Regards,
Baruch

1) My default here is 10. Please delete ANY strategy where you might have set it in your code (which would be outside what NinjaScript supports).
2) - 3) Could be related to you merge settings (Tools->Options->Data). I suggest trying a stock instrument to eliminate any impact from merging.
4) This is a bug which will be resolved with next update. Thanks for reporting.
5) Will be resolved with one of the next updates. Thanks for reporting though

Dierk,
1. My default is also 10. Thats not what I sad. Please try to change this to 1 (one).
2. I did not merge in 7. Only imported from 6.5.
3. Please see the first WF period. Its wrong. What I said is that it should have started after the first optimizer period not from the date you enter in "from".

1) We had to set the min to 2. I don't recollect the tech details of that decision.
2-3) Please proceed as suggested to eliminate any impact of NT7 merging.

Thanks

Dierk,
3. It has nothing to do with merging. Just tell me what is the first "Walk Forwrd" period if you enter in "From": 25/5/09, "Optimize Period":28 and "Test Period":7.

Please proceed as suggested to eliminate any impact from new NT7 merging.
- either walk forward a stock instrument OR
- Tools->Options->Data->DontMerge and Tools->Instrument Manager->ES->DontMerge

Thanks
