If Optimize Data Series Unchecked Backtest doesn't run.

[JakeOfSpades]

In the Strategy Analyzer, if Optimize Data Series in unchecked and you have selected Optimization as the Backtest type, the backtest never runs. It only works if you select Optimize Data Series, is this a bug?

Hello JakeOfSpades,

Thank you for your post.

In my tests with the SampleMACrossover Strategy that comes built into NinjaTrader, I'm not able to replicate the behavior you describe. Can you try testing with the Sample MA Crossover?

What version of NinjaTrader are you using? You can find this under Help > About. The latest version is 8.0.21.0.

Thanks in advance; I look forward to assisting you further.

Hello JakeOfSpades,

Just wanted to follow up with you to see if you had a chance to test with the SampleMACrossover strategy. Were you able to replicate the behavior with this?

Thanks in advance; I look forward to resolving this for you.
