Backtesting Bug

[crimsonite]

On occasion (now all the time), when I attempt to perform backtests, I get no results because the dates change themselves to April 2006.

I posted this in another forum accidentally (inappropriate forum). Thanks so much.

crimsonite, if you go under Help > About in NT's Control Center ->> what NT version are you using here please?

Would you see the same if you attempting to backtest the default installed SampleMACrossOver?

What dataprovider are you using here?

Thanks,

[crimsonite]

- Version 7.0.1000.8 (Live)
- Using CQG
- Using one of my own strategies. It does this with every single strategy however.

The dates have changed from 4/13/2006 to the real dates, but no data.

Thanks, what symbol / instrument are you running on here? Can you create a regular of it for your desired time range and it would populate ok?

[crimsonite]

I'm using the ES 3-12, 5 minute chart. It won't work for any instrument.

Everything else works just fine, including charts and indicators, and the sim and order placement.

Note: it is now working for all my indicators but my two new ones. I recoded one of them by hand and it started working. I'm positive the code is solid.

Can you please contact me via Help > Mail to Support (subject Attn Bertrand) so I could review your log and traces?

[crimsonite]

Correction: it did not do this, I was just looking at old data. It does not backtest at all, or optimize for any strategy.

I fixed the problem

I right clicked on the chart and reloaded all historical data and ninjascript.

Glad to hear, just replied to your other emails as well....

Just an fyi... the same problem happened twice... I did the same thing and it worked... looks like this is a fix... c
