Backtest jumps forward 40 candles

Post by Tomasz Kot »

When I use forward mode (play button), the backtest periodically jumps ahead (e.g. 40 candles).

When I am on M15 chart (with M15 step), it goes candle by candle as expected - until 00:00 UTC, when it jumps exactly to 10:00 UTC every day (+40 candles).
And the same happens when I click next candle manually (instead of forward mode) at 00:00, it will also jump to 10:00.
I suppose it is a bug. Or maybe it is intended and there is a setting that I am missing?

Another, different variant of that beahaviour, happens during the day on random occasions.
Sometimes in forward mode backtest time is going forward, but no new candles are appearing.
When it happens, I stop the forward mode and click 'previous candle' and all the missing candles appears at once.

Hello,

Your issue seems to be related to an old problem identified and fixed several months ago when one of our data feed was sending wrong data.
Could you please, delete the data of the related symbol and download it again ?
This should fix your issue,
