I cannot get Backtest running

Hernan Mancasola · 2020-03-11T13:48:00+00:00

Hello team, I’m trying my first backtest on prorealtime 11 but for any reason I cannot get it running. This is the simplest code I tried. timeframe(weekly) MM30=VolumeAdjustedAverage[30](close) condc=close>MM30 IF condc THEN BUY 1 SHARES AT MARKET ENDIF but even so, when I click on “Validate” I got the message I attach. I sent the information to Prorealtime but I didn’t get an answer yet. I’ve tried with different conf but nothing changed. I will really appreciate your collaboration. Thanks in advance, Hernan

I think that your account run quickly out of margin because you accumulate orders. Try to simulate with more money in the balance. Or by disallow cumulation of orders by adding this line at the top of the code:
```
defparam cumulateorders=false
```

Attached is what I get with the code below. What does the code below do on your Platform??
```
rem Cruce de medias semanales
rem Condiciones para entrada de posiciones largas
timeframe(weekly)

//MM30=MM30

MM30=average[30](close)

MM52=Average[52](close)

condc = (MM30 > MM52 and MM30[1] < MM52[1])
condv = (MM30 < MM52 and MM30[1] > MM52[1])

//condc=close>MM30

IF condc THEN
BUY 1 SHARES AT MARKET
ENDIF

//rem Condiciones de salida de posiciones largas
If condv THEN
SELL AT MARKET
ENDIF
//
```

If you want to see if your optimiser works … try attached and let us know how you get on. I have set up the optimiser so it works and it works on my Platform just fine.

My friend, I just about to give up! I imported your strategy and got the same error (“There was an error executing your Prueba backtest”)

I’m using V11.1

and these are my system characteristics.

What do you think? At this point it’s a personal challenge for me! 🙂

Don’t give up! Help is close at hand! I have version 10.3 so we need to rethink?

Try doing below but try and optimise on weekly Timeframe. Keep us updated. What we need is somebody with v11 to try and optimise my .itf file.
```
//timeframe(weekly)
```

you can certainly get v 10.3 from IG on the link below, but explore the PRT website first as I am sure you can get v10.3 direct from PRT? I am assuming you got v11 direct from PRT website? https://www.ig.com/uk/application-form

Did you fill out the form below to PRT asking … can you go on v10.3? https://www.prorealtime.com/en/contact

Yes, I got v11 from PRT website. I will also try from IG. I’ll let you know once I are able to test it

Thanks

Surely this Topic is being read by a Community Member with v11 … who could try my .itf file above and see if it runs and optimises okay on a v11 Platform??
