Strategy Analyzer Log tab mouse hover popup data errors

[tgn55]

Often, I get incorrect data appearing in the popup that appears when hovering over entries in the Log tab. Sometimes it is correct... but as shown in the attached image, many times it shows data that is simply not related to the row the mouse pointer is on.



I have many (hundreds) of analyzer results... if it matters.
8.0.18.1 installed... but this behaviour has been there for the last several versions at least.

Hello tgn55,

Are you able to reproduce this behavior using the Sample MA crossover strategy included with NinjaTrader?

If so, so that I may reproduce on my end, what parameters were used for the test?

[tgn55]

Hey Chelsea, the attached two pics show the bogus results.

To be honest, some of the several Sample SMA rows display correctly, ie a box with just 10 Fast/25 Slow
But the incorrect data occurs both when:

a) when hovering over Sample SMA, it sometimes shows my strategy data...


and
b) when hovering over my strategy... it sometimes shows the Sample SMA data

There is no obvious pattern to it... at first I wondered if it was just showing the data for the previous (or next) row, for example, but that's not the case. Sometimes it will show results for a run that is so far removed it is not even on screen... so, yeah... pretty out of synch!

Hope that is enough to raise a ticket... unless you have a solution ;-)
Regards,
Trevor.

Hello Trevor,

I need to reproduce the behavior on my end so that I may report.

To confirm, this is a Backtest and not an optimization.

Does this only occurs when testing multiple strategy types?

If you clear the logs and run a few backtests using only the Sample MA crossover are you able to reproduce the behavior?

Chelsea, I noticed over the weekend, this issue is NOT only occurring in the log /history display... even in the SA results pane... see latest attachment. Sample MA CrossOver walk-forward test.

Now... I may have a handle on the cause of this. In getting my screengrab, I had an instance showing incorrect data... but there were more results not visible, as the pane was too small. So I dragged the bottom down so all rows were visible... and the previous error row now displayed correctly!

It seems it may only bight if the scrollbar is active, ie, more rows of data that the pane has rows. In fact, I can induce new errors by messing with the scrollbar. All this in the top pane... not the log/history pane.

That said, I suspect the same bug may be causing my original issue... as I have MANY rows of history... ie the scrollbar is well and truly required ;-)
Hopefully, fixing the logic in the main results pane will also address my initial problem.

I have not cleared my history as I still have many results I need to retain... but hopefully you can reproduce the SampleSMA thing... just ensure you generate enough periods of data to exceed the number of rows viewable... in short... force the scrollbar to be active.


And here is another case... not even walk forward, just a plain old optimisation...


Hope that helps,
Trevor

Hello Trevor,

Thanks for confirming this is occurring when running regular optimizations and that it may have something to do with the size of the log area.

I played around with this and I was able to reproduce.

I'm reporting to our development. Once I have a tracking ID for this I will post in this thread so we may confirm the issue is corrected in a future release.

Thanks Chelsea...but please note and include in your ticket that it is not only the logging area that exhibits the problem... it also happens in the top pane with a plain old optimisation. Both panes show the same kind of aberrant behaviour when their respective scrollbars are used.

Hello Trevor,

I've received tracking ID# NTEIGHT-13976 for this behavior with the tooltip showing incorrectly.

As new releases of NinjaTrader 8 become available please check the release notes for this ID.

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/en-us/release_notes.htm

Once the ID is listed, please update NinjaTrader and confirm the behavior is corrected.

Confirming this appears fixed in 8.0.20... thanks.
