No, but there is this command which can perform a back test for multiple symbols in a single step: Trade Menu: AutoTrade System Bar Based Backtest with Scan (Trade menu) Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Well certainly that is going to occur during the initial full recalculation. In your study function, return if sc.IsFullRecalculation is true. This will avoid the error and the back test will continue normally after. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

In my strategy , we fire entry or exit for each bar ,based on entry and exit conditions We check current position (0/1) by sc.GetTradePosition() function as below code: Quantity =0,position =0 int PositionDataResult = sc.GetTradePosition(PositionData); if (PositionDataResult > 0) { Quantity = PositionData.PositionQuantity;//Access the quantity if (Quantity > 0) { position = Quantity; } } if position and quantity both are 0 then we fire entry order and if they are > 0 we fire exit order. i.e. it goes like, BUY then SELL then BUY then SELL.... While doing backtesting by adding multiple symbols in watch list : for few symbols(for eg: DGLD 60min chart) it goes like, BUY then BUY then BUY while if we perform backtest on that particular symbol(DGLD 60min chart) alone it goes fine i.e. BUY then SELL then BUY then SELL.... Dont knjow why at times it goes like BUY BUY BUY or SELL SELL SELL. it should be always BUY SELL BUY SELL i have attached the screenshots for the same
