BIG CALL FUNCTION PROBLEM

  Hi. I need help with this REALLY FAST.

  I have been using CALL fucntion as normal like condbuy1, condbuy2 = CALL “indicator name”

  Now when I am backtesting thoose systems with calling for the indicator the backtest is totally wrong. I have tested multiple systems. Is there something wrong with ProRealTime at the moment? Or have I missed something, I am currently in panic. Please someone help!

  For example

  DEFPARAM CUMULATEORDERS = false
  defparam preloadbars = 10000

  timeframe (1hour)
  ma1 = average[150,7](typicalprice)
  cb1 = ma1>ma1[1]

  timeframe (default)
  cb2 = average[200](close)

  if cb1 and cb2 then
  buy 1 contract at market
  set stop %loss 1
  set target %profit 0.1
  endif

  VS

  DEFPARAM CUMULATEORDERS = false
  defparam preloadbars = 10000

  timeframe (1hour)
  cb1, ignore = CALL “indicator21”

  timeframe (default)
  ignore1hourtimeframe, cb2 = CALL “indicator21”

  if cb1 and cb2 then
  buy 1 contract at market
  set stop %loss 1
  set target %profit 0.1
  endif

  and indicator

  ma1 = average[150,7](typicalprice)
  cb1 = ma1>ma1[1]

  cb2 = average[200](close)

  return cb1, cb2

  Gives 2 different results. Never seen this, this is a big issue. I have tested multiple accounts aswell. Only on DAX40. Anyone else?!

  I have had the systems running for years. But with calling indicator now gives wrong results on backtest. But system seems fine on live because on live I have the same results as backtest without the calling. But I have imported the system long time ago to another account.

  Can someone also look at this please

  Fourtunately this seem to only occur in backtest and not be affected by live ProOrder trades.

  But this needs to be looked into asap.

  Actually I noticed this occur on every system with multi-timeframe calling indicators. No matter the index. This just needs to be looked at ASAP

  Hi Franro,

  Unfortunately, because of the chaotic structure of these forum boards I can not find it back, but in the past 7 days one of the Market Place vendors announced the very same. While addressing Nicolas for this, Nicolas did not respond, BUT for this Market Vendor (there are just 2 or 3 out there) this problem was solved (estimate : 3 days ago) by a means he did not tell about.

  I really hope this helps you.
  Peter

  No problem still remains you probably got lucky Ivan as you tested it on only 3 days.

  Hi. I recommend opening a console so they can help you from PRT.

  Hi,

  When using different price constants (such as TypicalPrice and Close) in your indicator, you need to specify them in parentheses in your “Call” statement…

  cb1, ignore = Call "indicator21"(TypicalPrice)

  ignore, cb2 = Call "indicator21"(Close)

  The only way to go arround the bug is doing timeframe (1hour, updateonclose).

  But this have not been a problem for over 7 years.  So it needs to be fixed by ProRealTime
