backtesting a strategy

[panetmoto]

hello i have an auto trader that i am trying to backtest i have placed the strategy in the backtest tab to run the backtest and it comes up with zero results. did my proggrammer perhaps place a lock in the code so i would have to pay him to build me a back tester? or am i doing something wrong. i can run the sample MA crossover without any problems, thanks

Hello,

Thank you for the question.

It is possible that the programmer prevented the use of Historical data which would prevent the strategy from having results. Another item would be if it requires Live market data for any logic, you would likely need to check with the programmer if that strategy can be backtested.

I look forward to being of further assistance .
