Backtesting a custom volumetric bar strategy isnt working

[unpacify]

When I run my backtest in strategy analyzer, it returns blank results. i go to the Chart section in strategy analyzer, and the chart is nothing like the chart i run use (i know you can load a template to the chart, but whenever u hit run it just goes back to normal)

also when i hit run, these are the only logs that pop up:

Entering OnStateChange with State = SetDefaults
Entering OnStateChange with State = Configure
Entering OnStateChange with State = DataLoaded
State.DataLoaded
Indicators added to chart
Entering OnStateChange with State = Historical
Entering OnStateChange with State = SetDefaults
Entering OnStateChange with State = Terminated
Entering OnStateChange with State = Terminated
Entering OnStateChange with State = Terminated
Entering OnStateChange with State = SetDefaults
DisposeWPFControls start
Controls removed
Entering OnStateChange with State = SetDefaults
Entering OnStateChange with State = Terminated
Entering OnStateChange with State = SetDefaults
Entering OnStateChange with State = Terminated


ive been trying to add print statements and it only shows those prints whenever the strategy is turned on on my regular chart, not strategy analyzer. because of that, i have no clue why its not executing trades.

Hello unpacify,

The analyzer chart not showing items like a normal chart is expected, that is a limited chart meant to display the executions from the test. While you can load templates not all items may work from that chart. In your prints I see that there are prints about wpf controls, if you are modifying the user interface those items won't work in a backtest. That may also be why it is not working, I would suggest to disable those items and retest. You can also check the control center log tab to see if any errors are reported.

To find out why it is not placing trades you would normally have to add prints into your OnBarUpdate code and make sure your conditions to enter are becoming true.
