Analyzer giving no results

[ezrollin]

Lately my Analyzer has been giving me 0 results and very unrealistic low results even after running for hours.
I trust forward testing it a lot more.
I would think just off the built in Stop and Profit Target alone it WOULD have something to analyze and report!!!

What am I doing wrong?
Also what would a futures like this be set to? Should it be CME US Index Futures RTH or ETH? Thanks!

Hello ezrollin,

Start a simple single backtest.

If the strategy is in the Strategy Analyzer, is there data appearing on the Chart Display of the Strategy Analyzer?

Importantly, are there errors appearing on the Log tab of the Control Center?



Try testing the Sample MA Crossover strategy included with NinjaTrader on the same chart or Strategy Analyzer using the same instrument, bar type, interval, and date range.

Do you see results with this strategy? (This would confirm for us data is available and the issue is with the logic in the custom script)



If the strategy is getting data and the strategy is enabled or a backtest is run with no errors in the Log tab of the Control Center, then would likely indicate the logic conditions did not evaluate as true or orders are being ignored or cancelled.

In order to better understand how the code is working, it will be necessary to use Print to see how the conditions are evaluating and enable TraceOrders to see if orders are being submitted, ignored, rejected, or cancelled.

Below is a link to a forum post that demonstrates using prints to understand behavior and includes a link to a video recorded using the Strategy Builder to add prints.

Enable TraceOrders, print the time of the bar and all values used in the conditions that submit entry orders.

Let me know if you need any assistance creating a print or enabling TraceOrders.

Save the output from the output window to a text file and provide this with your reply.

I'll be happy to assist with analyzing the output.
