Hi

If I want too invalidate a system after a specific date in a indicator how do I get it right in the system? If I do it like this the backtest shows different result with and without the “Aktiv”. Whats wrong??
```
IF OpenDate > 20210501 THEN //Stoppdatum i maj
Datum = 0               //Invalidera alla signaler
ENDIF

return Datum AS "Datum"
```
```
Datum = CALL "Indicator"
Aktiv = Datum >= 1

TaPosition =  c11 AND c12 AND c13 AND Aktiv

IF TaPosition THEN
BUY positionStorlek CONTRACT AT MARKET
ENDIF
```

Your indicator should be:
```
Datum = 1
IF OpenDate > 20210501 THEN //Stoppdatum i maj
   Datum = 0                //Invalidera alla signaler
ENDIF
```
Otherwise DATUM will never retain value 1.

Thanks, missed that. But why do I get different backtest results when I use “Aktiv” in “TaPosition”?

If you are using very low TF’s, such as a few seconds, it might be that the period has canged, while you were modifying your code, so a different period will yield different results.

In any case only the real code may be investigated.
