I purchased historical data for futures from Norgate.
I have downloaded and set up a data base. When I visually look at the prices on the chart there are there, however when I go to back test on these instruments the back tester is saying its complete but it will not produce a report or list of trades. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or I need to do something to the data?
I am very new to this program, can someone point me in the right direction please?
Maybe start here: How do I debug my formula? - #2 by nomad Scans, Explorations, and Detailed Log reporting are all useful tools for you to understand what's going on.
Also, are you trying to test with Futures Mode turned on? Do you have enough capital to cover your margin or entry expenses?
