2nd Instrument in Strategy

[LloydH]

Hi
I am having a problem with adding a 2nd Instrument to my strategy. If I add the following code into Initialise() in my strategy, it stops working completely , the backtest just returns immediately.

// Add Second Symbol
Add("CL 06-10", BarsPeriod.Id, BarsPeriod.Value);

If I comment out the line of code above the backtest works fine again.

Any ideas what is going on here?

thanks
Lloyd

Hello,

Did you follow the help guide and references on using a multi series strategy? When you add instruments or time frames you need to also add checks for BarsInProgress in your code. So that your code knows what instument to run on.

Also,

The dynamic way of adding instrument is not supported as BarsPeriod.Id and BarsPeriod.Value do not exist yet in the Init() Method. These will need to be hard coded in.

Apologies

Guys

Sorry about this one, my problem was I had no historical data in my db for the CL 06-10 contract! Apologies for wasting your time.
kind regards
Lloyd
