Backtesting, historical data and current day eod

[puravida]

Hello,

i have two lists of stocks, one for german and one for us. If i look inside the historical data manager and on the list of quotes, i can see the eod data for the current day on both lists (for example right know both lists are filled until 16.03 which was friday).

If i run a backtest from the current day (17.03) on the german stock list, the backtest runs until 16.03 as expected. If i do exactly the same backtest with the us list, it only runs until 15.03 (thursday), although i have the quotes for friday in the historical list (for example IBM).

from DE list (BMW) working:


from US list (IBM) not working:



Any idea?

puravida,

What sort of strategy are you running? Would you possibly have some replication steps I may use to verify? I.e. settings and steps needed to replicate.

While comparing the stocks again i found the solution! It is simple, my German stocks had the "Default 24/7" template active, while the US ones did not (at least not the preconfigured coming with NT). It seems that a backtest to the current day will only work, if the 24/7 template is active. As soon as i changed this on the US stocks, it started to work as with the others.
