[Programming Help] - No Trades generated when using 'Bar Based Back Testing'

I have a ACSIL automated system that works correctly in LIVE, SIM, and Replay modes - trades are generated But when using 'Bar Based Back Testing' NO trades are generated, I see the bars flash by, this is the 1st time I am using 'Bar based back testing' and I am struggling with why this is not working and I am wondering what I am missing in terms of setting etc. I will save a lot of time and the back test will also be accurate using the Bar based approach because all my trades are executed at the close of bars. Any leads/input is very appreciated, Thanks |

Tomgilb, I had already disconnected and followed the instructions, as I stated I see the bars flash by but no trades (if one is not disconnected one cannot see the bars flashing by) Thanks |

I found the problem in case otheres are having a similar problem, it was in my Time code: I was using sc.GetCurrentDateTime().GetTime();, it works in Replay and Live but not in Bar based back testing Changed the Time code to - int Time = SCDateTimeMS(sc.GetEndingDateTimeForBarIndex(sc.Index)).GetTime(); We are good now... |
