Help! Can't backtest beyond 3 days!

[joryan]

Please help!

I tried to backtest my strategy using 3 days of data. It works OK, but when I extend my data beyond 3 days, it just hangs there saying "Retrieving data...XXX bars". I tried 4 days, 10 days, 30 days...same thing. I even tried on 3 different computers, same thing.

BTW, I'm using ver7.2 (Build 544).

Anyone?

joryan,

I haven't heard of this problem before, and in running the pre-loaded backtesting EFS files that come with eSignal (under Formulas/Backtesting) this seems to work ok for me (ver. 7.2 build 544). Here's an output from CSCO 30 min. chart with the preloaded formula btEMA.efs and West Coast Time Template.



I would be happy to test your formula out for you from my end if you like. Please either attach it to your reply on this thread, post it to a File Share group, or email me the file to [email protected]

Thanks Jay.

I hope you can help me do a backtest using 24-hours data on ESM3. Please use 3 min interval, and for the parameter use 0.7 gamma.

Thanks!
