Test skips forward 10-11hrs

Post by DwFX »

Hi!

When I create a new back test, It skips forward from 1am to 11am in one step. I am using the 1hr chart and it doesn't matter if I step forward by 5min,15min or 1hr.. It just jumps forward... sorry that's the best explanation i can give...

Regards

Hi,
Thanks for your report.
But could you please be more specific ?
Is it always the same date from when it skips ? Or it skips forward from 1AM to 11AM for every day ? What is the symbol (and broker) ?

We can see 2 potential issues :
- there is a "hole" in the data, and if there is no data between 1AM to 11AM, the software will go directly to this time because there is no underlying data. But it can happen very few times in an entire backtest.
- there is some local corrupted data : maybe the data which has be downloaded has been corrupted. In this case, you can try to delete the symbol data and download it again.

Thanks

Hi,
Sorry for the poor description, I was trying to start a new forward only backtest on EUR-USD, on the 1 hour chart. And when i would moved forward it would jump from 1am to 11am... I used the Naked Markets data for that test
I have cleared the data and seems to be working now.

Thank you for the assistance again,

Best regards,

DW
