    Hi there PRT coders.

    Backtesting the Parabolic SAR indicator, and testing one range optimisation of mySARmin, there seems to be no end of errors with the code!

    Have I found a limitation in the PRT platform and the backtesting of said indicator?

    And I am right to place the SAR math code in the backtest, to optimise the range of mySARmin ?

    > This can be coded, I just wanted to know if this is the case, or my coding skills and AIM’s are not coding correctly?

    *I have run this past a couple of AIM’s and all three concluded, eventually, that the PRT platform has a limitation!

     

    As always, any guidance towards a solution is much appreciated.

    NT 🙂

    Hi. I can’t see your code so I don’t know what happens…
    Here you have an example of PSAR working:

    //minSAR=0.02
//accSAR=0.02
//maxSAR=0.2

pSAR = SAR[minSAR,accSAR,maxSAR]
YourConditions = close CROSSES OVER pSAR[1]

    You can see in screenshots variables configuration and optimization results.

    Now that is a fab answer, plugged in, and works right away.

    My error was using a non standard term for the SAR indicator name in the code 🤦‍♂️
    Thank you Iván

    For your correction
