Help with backtesting

[Jharvey407]

I am running an EFS backtest routine that I wrote, using a 200 SMA to define the trend.

The problem that I am having is that during the first few days of bars (15 min) before the 200 SMA forms the EFS is ignoring the Trend variable, and executing trades on false signals.

I have tried scrolling the chart back as far as the historical data will go, but this did not help.

Any Ideas??

James,

I would suggest posting your code or code snippet, so the community can be more of a help to you.

You could try adding SMA>0 in the conditions.
In the tests I just did it seems to be working
