Unable to select strategies to be optimised on an instrument

[Ragingbull]

Hi there,

I discover this morning that when being in a "strategy analyser" window, although I can see the list of all strategies I have created (below the instrument lists), I am not able to select any strategy if I want to optimise or backtest one of them on a given instrument. Trying to optimise or backtest on a instrument open the small window to select strategy parameters but it is completely empty (drop down list) an no strategies appear that can be selected.

I am running on 6.5.1000.4 and I am not connected to any data feed. Until a few days/weeks ago, everything was working fine.

Thanks for your help.

Best regards.

Your strategy is likely not running because of the error in the indicator it is calling. Please check the IchiCloud indicator.

Hi Josh,

Although, Ichi is on the chart it is not used in the strategy itself. So?

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

Is it being called by the strategy? Try removing it all together.

Hi Josh,

Ichi is not called by the strategy.

I am trying to send you an help/email but it crashes too... Blocks on Tracesandlogs.zip

Hi Josh, Hi Dierk,

Problem solved. Apparently this problem is due to the fact that I had removed all instruments from the "default" directory. If "default" is emptied, then you get the problem described hereunder although I had other directories present and not empty. Normal?

Thanks for your help.

Best regards.

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

Glad you got it resolved. By "default" directory where are you referring to? Thanks for the info.

[Ragingbull]

Directory just below <On the Fly> in the Strategy Analyser is called "default" (above all your strategies).

Best regards
