Autotrade System replay backtest stopped working

I have created a custom study which I am trying to backtest using the "Autotrade System replay backtest" feature.

Until yesterday I was able to run the backtest for the dates that I wanted to, but today I can't.

I have just purchased a license for SierraChart today (level 5 package), and I could run the backtest before but not after purchasing.

I am connected to "SC Data - All Services" trade service.

I tried recompiling the study, running both in 32 bit and 64 bit mode, but to no avail.

I can't quite figure out what has changed, so I would like some help on how to debug or backtrack this to the root cause of the issue.

Thank you.

The first question is, is do you see the chart advance forward in time after selecting Trade >> Autotrade System Replay Back Test?

If you have any performance issues with back testing, then refer to:

Yes,

I do see the chart moving.

This might just be some setting having changed inadvertently.

I see a message that I haven't noticed: Setting study DLL module function objects to indicate DLL is not loaded: D:\SierraChart\Data\LevStd.dll

If that DLL is what contains the automated trading system, then that sounds like where the problem is. It sounds like there is a problem loading the DLL.

Provide the exact error message here by copying and pasting that line from the Message Log.
