backtester doesnt work

[siger]

Hi,
I just started using NT and I am trying to backtest a simple strategy.

My problem is that no order is ever executed (even if I try to buy on any bar):

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "");
}

The #trades is always 0.

I think that NT is not downloading any data on which to run the backtest.

Is there a special action to do before running a backtest (like connecting to Market Replay or Kinetic)?

Thanks a lot

Hello siger,
Welcome to the forum and I am happy to assist you.

Most likely you do not have any data. Are you connected to any supported connectivity provider/broker?

If you connect to the Kinetick End of day connection and test the strategy on a daily bar then are you able to make it work.

Please refer here to this YouTube video which further demonstrates how to connect to the Kinetick End of day connection.
