Stop Backtesting

[alexstox]

Hello. How to stop backtesting? I ran it and even after 10 minutes NT still "Running backtest..."

I just close Analyzer window. Than error appeared

Category Message
Strategy Error on calling 'OnBarUpdate' method for strategy 'PivotATR/5a47cc7a2a2c46f49eb14ef5f3d32cbd': In an instance of Object reference not set to an object.

Hello alexstox,

You can abort a backtest by clicking the Abort button in the lower right corner of the Control Center.

Sometimes it can take short while to abort the procedure.

What about error? Need your comment.

Hello alexstox,

Does this error appear if you add the strategy to a chart outside of the Strategy Analyzer?

It may be that the backtest engine suddenly had the data series removed without being aborted first.

If you abort the backtest before closing the window do you still receive this message?

I'm sorry. I've found problem in script.

And as always another one appeared

An Enter() method to submit an entry order at '08.06.2010 21:00:00' has been ignored. Please search on the term 'Internal Order Handling Rules' in the Help Guide for detailed explanation.

Oh! I really don't like this error. It could take a lot of time to find one

Do you have a case that leads to this error more often?

Hi alexstox,

You may be trying to submit an order in a direction you are already in and it is affected by the Entries per direction parameter when adding the strategy.

Try increasing this and see if it stops the errors.

[alexstox]

Well. I'll check that. But I use UniqueEntries=1 and just control entries up to 3, one by one.

Hello alexstox,

What is the Entries per direction set to?

Hello alexstox,

What is the Entries per direction set to?

EntriesPerDirection = 1; 
EntryHandling = EntryHandling.UniqueEntries;

Now I'm trying to search reason. As I see from chart, there are third long entry and addition condition for long lead to this error. I should analyze managing of those entries. Earlier everything was OK.

Hi alexstox,

I'm not sure about your logic, but I can tell you with Entries per direction set to 1, you will only be able to place 1 long order or 1 short order.

No, I knew that. I use as I wrote.
I just manage them in OnBarUpdate() via some conditions, than control in OnExecution() and trails orders too.

So, I just don't need more than 3 entries per direction. But maybe add 2 more soon.

I found problem =)
I add target orders in addition to trails earlier. I'll fix it. Thanks.
After that target, only Third order works =)
