I'm working on a strategy and have moved into attempting to simulate real-time testing. Initially, I started back testing with "Bar Close" data only since my broker TDAmeritrade did not provide tick data. That worked ok. I made a switch "Kinetick" and downloaded the tick data to begin real-time testing simulation based on "Historical" data. I can't go with "Market Replay" since the sample I want to test starts on March 21st 2022. The strategy only trades two instruments, "SOXL" and "SOXS". Every time I start "Playback" connection and set the date to 3/21 and any other date I get the following pop up error:
I attempted to ignore this and activated the strategy anyway, it would work initially but if I change the dates I end up getting the same pop up error shown above and the strategy would not get enabled.
To simplify things, I removed references to "SOXS" and only had it the bar series set to "SOXL"
My troubleshooting was the following:
- Redownload the data from "Kinetick"
- Made sure the instruments were listed
- Under "Database Management" I updated the instruments lists and updated the instruments
- Remove the strategy and then add it again
Your assistance is appreciated.
