Troubleshooting dates on Strategy Analyzer

[Austiner87]

Hi NT8,

I ran a rest on the strategy analyzer, but it is giving me off-set dates. Please see screenshots below - you will see that the executions end beyond the end date specified on the right, and similarly, the start dates in purchasing contracts begin several days after my start date.

Also, I am getting no data returned when I backtest a FOREX pair, such as the EURUSD. Do I have to download historical data to run it in the analyzer? Thank you!

Hello Austiner87,

Thank you for your note.

What version of the platform are you running? You can find this under Help > About. The current version is 8.0.25.0.

Are you connected to the Playback connection while running the backtest? If so, please disconnect, close your current Strategy Analyzer windows, open a new one, and test while not connected to the Playback connection.

You will need historical data to backtest in the Strategy Analyzer, yes. You would need to obtain that from your data provider.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.
