Hi there.
Back after 8 days with the screens off, I find all my probacktests in demo and real version with a vertical bar that stops trades only graphically. The orders continue to execute but the charts are stopped. If I relaunch a probacktest, it runs on the chart but immediately, a vertical bar appears and the chart stops…
If a charitable soul could help me out… After 3 hours of trying to fiddle with the platform, I give my tongue to the cat…
Thanks in advance

08/24/2022 at 7:19 PM #199543thank you for your feedback. I have just attached a screenshot with the black vertical bar that appears as soon as I validate a probacktest, whether in real life or on the demo version, which does not prevent the probacktest from executing the orders of buying and selling. Thanks for your help.

- Add a ‘Dummy’ variable to the optimiser with settings – min = 1, max = 1 and step = 1 and then run the optimiser.
Is the line still visible?

I realized that it is always on the penultimate candle, that is, on the last one CLOSED at the end of the backtest. If another one opens, but you do not repeat the backtest, the line will remain stationary in that position. If you do the backtest again it will be updated.
I guess it only serves to show where the backtest indicated in the box ended (see attachment, obviously the box shows the closing time of that candle, while the chart shows the opening time).
08/25/2022 at 10:12 AM #199572Bonjour à tous et merci pour vos retoursA l’attention de robertogozziJ’avais cru sélectionner le forum français. Apparemment, ce ne serait pas le cas. Veuillez m’en excuser. Etant très mal à l’aise en anglais, pourriez vous transférer cette discussion sur le forum français. Merci pour votre compréhension.A l’attention de GraHal, Nicolas, fifi743 et de toutes les autres bonnes volontés.Cela ne doit pas venir de mes programmes écrits pour certains depuis plusieurs semaines et qui apparaissaient très bien à l’écran.J’ai remarqué que lorsque que je lance un probacktest en optimisant les variables, l’affichage du graphique se déroule correctement au fil du temps sans aucune barre verticale et lorsque je valide ces variables, la barre verticale arrive dans l’instant et le graphique reste plat. Ceci est vrai pour tout mes graphiques en réel et en démo. A noter que cela n’altère pas les ordres d’achat et de vente qui suivent. C’est seulement un problème d’affichage graphiqueAutre remarque si cela peut vous aider à me sortir de ce pétrin : Lorsque je passe sur l’ancienne version (version 10), les mêmes probackests fonctionnement correctement.(aucun problème d’affichage) ce qui me laisse à penser qu’il y a un paramètre sur la version 11 qui ferme automatiquement tous les probacktests( graphiquement seulement) dès leur validation..mais lequel?A l’attention de NicolasJe ne fixe aucune date de fin de backtest sur mes programmes. Ce problème apparait sur toutes mes stratégies en réel et démo..Encore merci à vous tousHello everyone and thank you for your feedback For the attention of robertogozzi I thought I had selected the French forum. Apparently that would not be the case. Please excuse me. Being very uncomfortable in English, could you transfer this discussion to the French forum. Thanks for understanding. To the attention of GraHal , Nicolas, fifi743 and all other goodwill. This must not come from my programs, some of which have been written for several weeks and which appeared very well on the screen. I noticed that when I run a probacktest optimizing the variables, the graph display runs correctly over time without any vertical bar and when I validate these variables, the vertical bar arrives in the moment and the graph remains flat. This is true for all my live and demo charts . Note that this does not alter the buy and sell orders that follow. It’s only a graphic display problem Another note if it can help you get out of this mess: When I switch to the old version (version 10), the same probackests work correctly. (no display problem) which leads me to think that there is a parameter on version 11 which automatically closes all probacktests ( graphically only ) as soon as they are validated.. but which one? For the attention of Nicolas I do not set any backtest end date on my programs. This problem appears on all my strategies in real and demo.. Thank you again to all of you

If buy and sell orders that follow are not altered then why is it all a mess … just ignore the line that appears and carry on … Life’s too short to worry about happenings with no consequences??
Add a ‘Dummy’ variable
Please answer YES or NO I did / did not try GraHal fix??
If you did not understand what I said in that post then just say … I do not understand what you are saying?? 🙂
08/25/2022 at 10:37 AM #199578Sorry, we can’t move it, as there are so many posts that should be translated and some of the authors might not want to move to another language.
Use a translator (Google, DeepL or else), please. They do a good job in most cases 🙂
