Backtest won't load correct parameters from strategy

[angela d]

A new strategy that I want to backtest keeps loading parameters/variables from previous strategies that I've backtested.

Specifically, the stop and profit target are incorrect in the backtester. How can I make it load the correct parameters/variables?

Thanks in advance.

Hello angela d,

So that I may have a more complete picture of what is happening on your end, would it be possible to use the freely and publicly available screen capture software Jing, https://www.techsmith.com/jing.html , or a similar program which can record video of what is happening on your screen, so that you can show me what is occurring on your end? These quick instructions can get you started with Jing.

1. When you start Jing, a yellow half circle will appear near the top of your screen. Please hover over it with your mouse
2. A small + sign will extend out of this half circle. Please click on it
3. When your cursor becomes two intersecting lines, please click and drag your mouse over an area of your screen you would like to record
4. Please press the film strip button that appears to begin recording
5. When you are finished recording, please press the square stop button that appears
6. Please press the share button that appears. It consists of three vertical upward pointing arrows.

You will then have the option to view your video on screencast.com . This is the link which can help me diagnose what is happening on your end. It is possible you will need to set up a free account in order to share videos.




Thank you very much in advance for providing us with this information. If this procedure is not an option for you, or if there are any other questions we can answer, please let us know.

Thanks so much for your quick reply Jessica.

I just figured out what the issue was. Since I had modified another strategy in the Wizard, I had neglected to also modify the "Minimum" amount in the User Defined Inputs.

Thanks again.
