Error when running Strategy Analyzer Optimization - How to debug?

[Magzor]

Hi there,

I get this error when using the Strategy Analyzer with Optimization turned on. It works fine in Backtest mode, but any of the other options fail.

My strategy is using the volumetric bars, and I have confirmed that DataLoaded is never called after the volumetric bars have been added. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?

else if (State == State.Configure)
{

AddVolumetric(Instruments[0].FullName, BarsPeriodType.Range, 15, VolumetricDeltaType.BidAsk, 1);

}

You cannot use Instruments in State.Configure reliably. Change that parameter Instruments[0].FullName to null.

Thanks Bruce! It works now

My impressions about this have changed slightly.

In some places you can, and in some places you cannot.

The Strategy Analyzer is one place you cannot.
